Tracking site traffic for a particular website

0

I am investigating a ticket which requires a particular website to be tracked for handful of users. What's happening is that the website works for few users and not for all. I have checked proxy settings and found them to be different for impacted group. The group is not able to access the website and before attributing the cause to proxy servers, I want to track what happens to the website when user types in the address, where it goes and what is returned to user's machine. Is it possible using Wireshark?

yes. Just install Wireshark on the affected clients and start it (see the docs how to do that). Then, after you have recreated the problem, stop Wireshark and look into the HTTP requests. You should see either direct requests (IP address of the web server) or proxy requests (IP address of the proxy), depending on the proxy settings in the browser.
