General Reference Guide eWON Configuration
Description
Enables or disables the proxy feature. The proxy operation can be switched on or off at any
time during the eWON operation without reboot.
Any change in the configuration is applied as soon as the configuration is changed.
Each time a client opens a connection to the proxy, the connection is kept opened until the
client explicitly closes it or until this timeout is elapsed without data being transferred on the
socket.
This is required if a client is for example switched off while the connection is active, the
connection will be dropped and the memory recovered after the timeout is elapsed.
For each proxy entry, a maximum number of connections can be opened at a given time on a
proxy port. This parameter defines the maximum.
Select the interface (WAN, PPP incoming or VPN) where the proxy rules are applied.
Table 37: Proxy Global parameters table
Description
This is the type of protocol that the eWON will proxy to the given server. These protocols are
handled differently and must be specified in the configuration.
Available protocols are :
• Disabled (0)
• UDP (1)
• TCP (2)
• FTP (3)
Although FTP is TCP, it must be specified. The FTP proxy will work for passive and active
connections.
REM: If ProxyProto is set to “disabled”, then the full proxy entry will be disabled, regardless of
the other entry parameter's values.
The eWON's proxy is completely symetric, it can work in both directions.
Usualy the user will want to proxy from the EXT to the LAN in order to access a device on the
LAN that has not the eWON as gateway.
But a device can also connect to a server on the EXT without having the eWON as gateway.
This is true as long as the server has a fixed IP address that can be entered in the Proxy
configuration.
Available directions are :
• Disabled (0)
• EXT to LAN (1)
• LAN to EXT (2)
REM: If ProxySide is set to “disabled”, then the full proxy entry will be disabled, regardless of
the other entry parameter's values.
Port number on which the eWON will listen.
For example, if the eWON must forward ports on a web server on port 80 and the client will
connect to the eWON on port 8080, then incoming port (ProxyPort)=8080 and Destination
port (ProxySrvPort)=80
Port number on which the eWON will connect when it receives a connection from the proxy
client. This port will be the server port on device with the Destination IP address.
The IP Address of the server the eWON will connect to when it receives a connection on its
proxy port (ProxyPort).
REM: If the Destination IP address is set to 0, then the full proxy entry will be disabled,
regardless of the other entry parameter's values.
Table 38: Proxy Entry parameters table
Note: There are 10 Proxy Entries, the # character found in the table above represent the index of the proxy entry, first entry has the
index 1 (i.e.: ProxyProto1), the last entry has the index 10 (i.e.: ProxyProto10).
