Proxy server can receive and process clients’ queries locally. The line will not be dialed if
access to the requested page is forbidden.
3. WinRoute is deployed within a network with many hosts where proxy server has been used.
It would be too complex and time-consuming to re-configure all the hosts.
The Internet connection functionality is kept if proxy server is used — it is not necessary
to edit configuration of individual hosts (or only some hosts should be re-configured).
The WinRoute’s proxy server can be used for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP protocols. Proxy server
does not support the SOCKS protocol ( a special protocol used for communication between
the client and the proxy server).
Note: For detailed information on using FTP on the WinRoute’s proxy server, refer to chap-
ter 25.4 .
Proxy Server Configuration
To configure proxy server parameters open the Proxy server tab in Configuration → Content
Filtering → HTTP Policy.
