How can I force "client.wns.windows.com" through my proxy. It does not seem to be proxy aware.

Hi;

A connection to "client.wns.windows.com" is bypassing the Proxy SG, going straight to the internet as the Proxy SG is setup to receive explicit connections from browsers.

I am not sure what application is sending this connection, but it does not seem to be "Proxy Aware". 

 

Kindly

Hi Wasfi,

 

Since application is not proxy aware change your deployment to Transparent and do PBR policy on firewall.

Hi Wasfi,

 

This seems to be push notification url of Windows 10 from a quick check on google. Normally these kind of requests supports proxy but may not be PAC file. If you are using PAC file, it may be a problem. Even if the issue present with explicit proxy address, the next would be to use WINHTTP to point the set the proxy which is normally used by services. But if this is not something crucial, we can ignore it for now ?

The service which sends these requests does support proxy settings. If the requests are not sent to the explicit proxy address then the proxy settings are missing in Internet Option or WinHTTP.

Other than that, the connections to this domain are just the usual spam from Windows 10 and are using a proprietary Microsoft protocol, so the proxys won't be able to handle them anyway. So be happy that your firewall drops them.
