DNS Error on Netpath Probe

Added a local Windows PC via Agent, on successfully adding the PC we got to see the IP is 192.x.x.x which is one of my 5 NICs, my router's IP, am having proxy to communicate to my office network, so the proxy IP is 10.x.x.x.

Now after adding the PC on SW, i tried creating Netpath Probe it shows source: 192.x.x.x ,destn: abcxyz123.com, port: 443.

We are getting DNS error, that is obvious, but is there any processes or possibility to add the probe with the proxy IP as we tried to add this probe via IP(Proxy) but its not authenticating and also we tried changing the polling IP to the proxy IP but that also didn't work, is this feature is not available yet?

SW Version:  2024.2.1

  • David is here from xtrasaas. The NetPath probe has a hard-coded default IP address, which happens to be your router's IP and not the proxy's, causing the DNS problem. If there is a proxy in use, it makes sense that this would be the proxy IP for routing (10.x.x.x). It seems that the version of the software you are working with (2024.2.1) does not allow directing the status step with proxy IP address assignment for the probe. A simple catalyst would be to log onto the proxy through a different web browser. Ensure that the agent is bound to its defunct network interface or set a static route from the routing table. I understand if you don't want to attempt it, but what other options are out there? It would help contact support but it is also likely some limitations are this version.

  •  what we observe after few struggles is that even though the laptop is getting added with the VPN / Proxy IP (10.x.x.x) and we are using the same IP to create the probe, but the source IP is still my Router's IP (192.x.x.x) resulting in DNS error, at the NETPATH Probe why is the proxy IP not considered as source IP when that IP is showing as the polling IP.
