HTTP proxy

Top  Previous  Next

In order to use the HTTP proxy you must first do some configuration and start the service. The following options can be used:

 

Transparent proxy server: The clients' browsers need not be changed. The firewall takes the requests from the clients and starts its own request to get the sites you want.
Caching: Content is stored at the firewall and the browser gets the content from there instead reloading it through the Internet. This reduces bandwidth usage.
Authentication: If you use user authentication, you can manage which users are allowed to access the web sites. You must create or import the users first at the integrated user management.
Content filtering: Remove dangerous content and viruses from http traffic specify by categories.
