You can now configure a web proxy for your cloud-managed firewalls.
This interface includes an in-app Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file
editor so that you can edit your proxy settings and modify your PAC file all in one
place whenever network changes arise.
The web proxy supports two methods for routing traffic:
- Explicit Proxy— The request contains
the destination IP address of the configured proxy, and the client browser sends
requests to the proxy directly. Authentication methods such as Kerberos and SAML
2.0 are supported, requiring the appropriate web proxy licensing.
- Transparent Proxy—The request contains
the destination IP address of the web server and the proxy transparently
intercepts the client request (either by being in-line or by traffic steering).
This method requires specific networking prerequisites, including a loopback
interface, User-ID configuration in the proxy zone, and specific Destination NAT
(DNAT) rules defined in Strata Cloud Manager. Transparent proxy does not
support X-Authenticated Users (XAU) or Web Cache Communications Protocol
(WCCP).
You can push web proxy configurations to the following platforms:
