I have internet access through a proxy server with authentication on a PC (main PC), how can I create a local network on which every other computer/device connects to the internet through the main PC's connection but without having to set the proxy settings locally.

In other words, the proxy server would be transparent to every computer/device on the network except for the main PC where the proxy server settings and authentication would be set

I've tried that in the past but if I remember correctly using that solution I would still have to set the proxy settings on every computer on the network for accessing the internet, what I would like to do is set the proxy settings on the main PC only and have all the internet connections on the network go through this computer, so no other one have to set the proxy settings.

I will try again anyways. Thanks

You are correct ICS solves only the issue of routing of IP would still have to set the proxy in all the devices.

I would suspect there is some software that you can run on windows that would do this in conjunction with ICS. The issue on windows is that the ICS does a very good job of keeping the traffic out of the machine and just routing it to the other port. I am not sure how much access a program running on the machine would have to intercept the traffic and force it to a proxy. On a linux machine the key words you used "transparent proxy" are fairly easily implemented and you can do the ICS type function also. There are prebuilt ubuntu images that are designed to use a PC as a router/firewall and will have all the tools preloaded. T

Yeah, I've tried some software like proxifier that can force the traffic to the proxy but apparently it only handles local traffic, will look into the ubuntu solution. Thanks
