Creating proxy rules
This tab allows you to determine the days and times a proxy rule is enabled.
You can also specify whether a proxy rule is temporary and will expire after a
specific period of time. Follow the steps below.
1 In the Times/Days field, specify when to allow or deny the service(s)
defined for this proxy rule. The format is fairly flexible. You must enter a day
of the week (or a range of days), followed by a time range (be sure to either
use military time OR include am or pm after each hour). You may
abbreviate the day, but do not use periods. You can include multiple entries
as long as they are separated by a comma and a space. The following are
examples of valid entries:
• Mon-Fri 8am-5pm
• Monday-Tuesday 8am-5pm, Friday noon-Sunday 8am
• Thur 1200-1500, Sat 1800
• 8:00am-10:00pm Mon-Thur, 8:30am-5:30pm Fri
2 In the Rule Time To Live field, you can configure a proxy rule to be
temporary (that is, to expire after a specified time period). Select one of the
following three options:
• No Expiration—Select this option if you do NOT want the proxy rule to
be temporary (that is, it will NOT expire). This is the default value.
• Offset—Select this option to specify a period of time that must elapse,
starting from the creation date of the rule, before the proxy rule will
expire (for example, two days, one week, three years). When you select
this option, the Disable Rule In field appears. Select a time period from
the drop-down list (Days, Hours, Minutes, Months, Seconds, Weeks, or
Years) and then specify the appropriate number in the text box.
• Date/Time—Select this option to specify an exact date and time when
the proxy rule will expire. When you select this option, additional fields
appear. In the Month, Day, and Year drop-down lists, specify the date
that you want the rule to expire. In the Time drop-down lists, specify the
exact time you want the rule to expire.
