Simulate enterprise proxy

Hi Feodor,

for some of our tools we would like to simulate an enterprise proxy when running tests.

Do you have any suggestions how we could accomplish that on AppVeyor?

I got it working locally like this:
https://github.com/mapbox/mason/wiki/Windows:-Simulate-an-enterpris...

Now I'm trying to achieve the same on AppVeyor:
https://github.com/BergWerkGIS/proxy-tests/blob/9d2b77a64d41a4cdfd0...

But the output stops at powershell Set-NetFirewallProfile -DefaultOutboundAction Block:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/BergWerkGIS/proxy-tests/build/1.0.1...

I suppose that locking down all outbound traffic except for privoxy.exe is responsible for that and that you need a special port to show progress in the console?
Right?

Regards,
willy

   Yeah, that's probably the reason :)

   Build workers use outbound SignalR connection to AppVeyor service at https://ci.appveyor.com
   I guess you should leave 443 port opened for TCP. Alternatively, you could allow all outbound traffic to build agent executable, because running tests would spawn a new process anyway.

   I would prefer to not leave 443 open.

   Just to make sure, that our tools don't make any direct connections.

   What would be the path and filename of the build agent executable?

   C:\Program Files\AppVeyor\BuildAgent\Appveyor.BuildAgent.Interactive.exe - interactive runner on new environment

   C:\Program Files\AppVeyor\BuildAgent\Appveyor.BuildAgent.Service.exe - service runner on Azure

   Thanks!
   Console updates even after -DefaultOutboundAction Block.
