Content Gateway Installation Guide/content/support/library/web/v75/wcg_install_guide/first.aspx
Before you install Content Gateway, consider:
System security. Your network can carry sensitive data. SSL Manager lets you have data decrypted and then re-encrypted on the way to its destination. Consider locking down your system as much as possible to prevent others from seeing your data.
Network configuration. Content Gateway can run as an explicit proxy (where browsers point to Content Gateway), or a transparent proxy (where traffic is redirected through a WCCP-enabled router or a Layer 4 switch in your network and the ARM, Adaptive Redirection Module, feature of Content Gateway).
Content Gateway can proxy HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and other protocols. To transparently proxy protocols other than HTTP through a WCCP-enabled router, the router must use WCCP v2, which supports redirection of multiple protocols.
System requirements. Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements listed in the System requirements section.
