Hi Gbg, For this to work you need the client (browser for example) to be aware of the forward proxy. So first you need to configure the client to use HAProxy as a forward proxy, then in the HAProxy conf you need to use the forward proxy in the backend and the configuration may look like this: frontend main bind *:8000 acl is_extweb path_beg -i /policies /produkte use_backend forward_proxy if is_extweb default_backend another_backend backend forward_proxy server static < IP-of-the-forward-proxy > : < Port > check ++ Moemen MHEDHBI
