Web proxy
The web proxy is a server that sits between the LAN PCs and Internet sites. Clients make requests to the proxy which
communicates with external sites, then send the response back to the client.
The advantages of a web proxy are:
• ability to filter content
• reduce bandwidth usage by caching the pages you visit
The proxy can be enabled only on green and blue zones. Supported modes are:
• Manual: all clients must be configured manually
• Authenticated users must enter a user name and password in order to navigate
• Transparent: all clients are automatically forced to use the proxy for HTTP connections
• Transparent SSL: all clients are automatically forced to use the proxy for HTTP and HTTPS connections
