Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from
other servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection,
web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request
according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is
validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting
the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their
companies, making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring
that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral
part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.
