Use F5 APM as Forward Proxy

Hello All,

I have one BIG-IP with APM license and I wan to use it as a forward proxy.

I have used this iApp https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare/apm-explicit-proxy and now I have:

• DNS Resolver
• Tunnel for traffic
• HTTP profile
• Virtual Server (Proxy) listening on 8080

Although this is configured, when I point to this proxy with my browser it doesn’t seem to work.

I suppose that now I have to create two more separate virtual servers listening on ports 80 and 443 for handling http and https traffic. Am I right?

The question is once I have configured this two virtual servers how can I forward traffic to Internet?

If the VS haven’t got pool members, does it check the routing table? Or I have to create an iRule with something like this:

When HTTP::request {  Forward  }

When HTTP::response {  Forward  }

Also, I don’t want to inspect SSL traffic, I Would like to use the Proxy as a passthrough but only allow certain https sites, Do I need to inspect SSL traffic to filter by URLs?

Thanks in advantage
