Using a proxy server

You can configure a proxy server for the following functions:

Email traffic between the email hybrid service and the Internet
*
Advanced file analysis
*
Communication with Threat Intelligence Cloud Service URL analysis
The same proxy server can be used for all functions. Proxy server settings are configured on the page Settings > General > Proxy Server.

The email software does not support the use of a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) proxy for filtering database updates. An SSL server may be used as an email hybrid service proxy.
