Connection Modes: Direct and Proxy
About Connection Modes
CC-SG offers three connection modes: Direct, Proxy, and Both, which is a combination of Direct
and Proxy.
Direct mode allows you to connect to a node or port directly, without passing data through CC-
SG. Direct mode generally provides faster connections.
Proxy mode allows you to connect to a node or port by passing all data through CC-SG. Proxy
mode increases the load on your CC-SG server, which may cause slower connections. However,
proxy mode is recommended if you are more concerned about the security of the connection. You
only need to keep the CC-SG TCP ports (80, 443, and 2400) open in your firewall.
Both mode allows you to configure CC-SG to use a combination of Direct mode and Proxy mode.
In Both mode, Proxy mode is the default, but you can configure CC-SG to use Direct mode when
connections are made using client IP addresses in specified ranges.
