Explicit proxy mode<br />

Proxies and caching<br />

Network modes 3<br />

This section explains the explicit proxy mode and how to configure it on the appliance and its clients.<br />

In this mode, the clients that have their web traffic filtered by the appliance “know” they are connected<br />

to it. They must explicitly be configured to direct their web traffic to the appliance.<br />

If this is ensured, it is less important where the appliance is deployed within your network. Typically, it<br />

is placed behind a firewall and connected to its clients and the firewall by a router.<br />

The following diagram shows a configuration in explicit proxy mode:<br />
