Hi Team,
I configured Nethserver with Multiwan and Proxy Server, however Dropbox Application is not synchronising. Is there any configuration that I needed in Nethserver to synchronize Dropbox? Thanks you
Regards,
Eliezer
If you’re using the SSL proxy see this thread:
Thank you for this information. Can I bypass also our different websites using this command? I am new with CentOS. I would like to ask a dumb question. Where will I encode the syntax? Thanks a lot
Yes you can, actually it’s a NethServer syntax not CentOS
Check out @filippo_carletti’s example, you can add sites separated by comma:
config setprop squid SSLBypass .dropbox.com,.box.com,.yoursite.comThank you for this. I will do it tomorrow and will give you feedback. Thanks again
@/filippo_carletti and @alefat I follow the instructions but still not working please see image below:
any ideas? Thanks
Have you tried to manually set the proxy in dropbox preference panel?
Yup, but it keeps connecting.
Sorry, do you mean that if you set the proxy into dropbox preferences you can sync files?
And if you don’t set the proxy in dropbox but set it to transparent on nethserver ui is doesn’t?
No sir, When I set the proxy to preferences in dropbox is said connecting only. On the server it doesnt sync but when I open the Dropbox to web browser and login thats the time that tue dropbox application sync. Its wierd. 
And if you temporarily disable the NethServer web proxy everything works?
I’m lost, I think that we need to understand what’s really happening.
Could you have a look at squid/access.log after opening the dropbox client?
When I change the setting from transparent ssl to transparent only it works. Where can I locate the squid/access.logs? Thank you for the help
I already get rid the error message. The dropbox is still not working
@filippo_carletti This is the log under squid/access.log:

I’m not sure you will be able to make dropbox with on SSL with transparent SSL proxy.
The only viable solution I see is the one proposed by @alefattorini.
Otherwise you can create a proxy bypass for hosts running dropbox client.
based on my observation that based on the logs dropbox is trying to connect to this address 108.160.172.x. problem is I am not sure how many ip address is this.
is there anyway that I can bypass the whole subnet? like 108.160.172.0/x?
When I tested my solution linked above, I extensively tested that dropbox was working fine.

I am not sure why it is not working in my end. did I miss something in my proxy configuration? I follow the steps by step procedure that @gg_jr provided to me.
Have you enabled web filter?
Try to disable all and check again.
Try to disable AV for a while.
Let only transparent proxy with ssl.
If it works, you can figure out what is blocking the connection.
