Adding or editing an explicit proxy

Web Security Help | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x

When managing explicit proxies, use the Add Explicit Proxy or Edit Explicit Proxy page to define or update information about an on-premises explicit proxy to be used for your filtered locations.

Enter, verify, or update the proxy Name. The name must be unique, and have between 1 and 50 characters. It cannot include any of the following characters:

* < > { } ~ ! $ % & @ # . " | \ & + = ? / ; : ,

Names can include spaces, dashes, and apostrophes.

Enter, verify, or update the IP address or name of the explicit proxy. This must be in one of the following forms:

An IP address (for example 123.45.67.89)

A hostname (for example my.example.com)

The IP address or name can include a port number, for example 123.45.67.89:443.

Enter or update the proxy port or ports. There must be at least one port number for the proxy. This can be an HTTP port, an SSL port, or an FTP port.
