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. |
