Direct Access Windows 2012 R2 - Force Tunneling - Internet Problem

Hello, I have installed a pilot for DA with a Windows 2012 r2.

One of the requirements is that the DA need to have Force Tunneling.

Clients have Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 9.

We use TMG as a Proxy.

After some tests, i enabled force tunneling and my test clients can't connect to the internet with Internet Explorer.

If i use Firefox they browse without problems.

Does anyone know how to fix this ?

Regards

When i see the Logs

Apear this

A non-SYN packet was dropped because it was sent by a source that does not have an established connection with the Forefront TMG computer.

Hi There Joao - unless there is a specific requirement Microsoft do no really recommend in live deployments of using Force Tunneling - I can give you a list of arguments if needed. Most deployments that I do I implement split tunnelling with enforced proxy using TMG / Bluecoat etc.

If it is an option then use this link for split tunnel with enforced proxy

This will alleviate any issues on the force tunnel and would actually improve performance

Hello

I know, but is a client requirement, because of legal questions.

the weird is that in Firefox and chrome it works.

Hi Joao - I have seen this before but I am wracking my brains to remember the resolution. Have you tried running fiddler on the client to see what happens which is a great tool for web based troubleshooting. Reading through it appears the TMG is dropping the traffic as it does not trust the source request.

With regards Outlook there is a registry fix if the Outlook Client is reporting as disconnected.
