Hi, > How should I configure my FreeBSD box to achieve this, what tools I should > use? You can only proxy traffic that the proxyserver itself understands. I suppose that proxyserver from your ISP is an http proxy, so you have to adjust your browser. You cannot proxy smtp or pop3, sip or whatever through, let's say, squid. It doesn't understand any protocol other than http (and ftp). Natting all outbound traffic to that proxyserver will not work as you expect. There is ofcourse other proxyserver software that do understand pop3, smtp, sip, etc etc but I don't think your ISP will offer that service. Otherwise, give them a call and find out. Hth.
