freebsd stable - Nov 2008 - traffic using ISP proxy

Hi.

I have running firewall, just simple NAT with pf at the moment.
My Desktop PC <--> My Router <--> ISP <--> INTERNET
All the traffic goes directly (no proxy).

There is also available proxy server from my ISP so I want that all 
traffic would go through it (except local domains)
My Desktop PC <--> My Router <--> ISP [Proxy] <--> INTERNET

How should I configure my FreeBSD box to achieve this, what tools I 
should use?


Best Regards,

You can only proxy traffic that the proxyserver itself understands. I 
suppose that proxyserver from your ISP is an http proxy, so you have to 
adjust your browser. You cannot proxy smtp or pop3, sip or whatever 
through, let's say, squid. It doesn't understand any protocol other than
http (and ftp). Natting all outbound traffic to that proxyserver will not 
work as you expect. There is ofcourse other proxyserver software that do 
understand pop3, smtp, sip, etc etc but I don't think your ISP will 
offer that service. Otherwise, give them a call and find out.

Hth.
