12 HTTP Proxy
The proxy settings are found in the “Proxy” tab in the “Configuration” part of
the firewall. The proxy can be used to lower the amount of traffic used by
browsing the web. Normally first the “lan-out” policy should be modified to
prevent the use of 'http' (port 80) and 'https' (port 143).
The browsers proxy configuration should point to the proxy port and the
internal address of the firewall. It is possible to define the used proxy port. The
default port is 3128, another common used port is 8080.
The different ports that the proxy caches are listed.
It's possible to deny all site outside the whitelisted sites. The wizard buttons to
the left of the screen give access to the current white and blacklisted sites.
Normally all PC's on the internal networks are allowed to use the proxy server
on the firewall. This is the “network” method of the “Authentication” field.
When set to “users+network” there should be given a set of user names and
passwords on this screen.
