Http Redirect; Chapter 17 Http Redirect; Overview; What You Can Do In This Chapter - ZyXEL Communications UAG2100 User Manual

17.1 Overview

HTTP redirect forwards the client's HTTP request (except HTTP traffic destined for the UAG) to a web
proxy server. In the following example, proxy server A is connected to the lan2 interface in the
LAN2 zone. When a client connected to the lan1 interface in the LAN1 zone wants to open a web
page, its HTTP request is redirected to proxy server A first. If proxy server A cannot find the web
page in its cache, a policy route allows it to access the Internet to get them from a server. Proxy
server A then forwards the response to the client.

17.1.2 What You Need to Know

Web Proxy Server
A proxy server helps client devices make indirect requests to access the Internet or outside network
resources/services. A proxy server can act as a firewall or an ALG (application layer gateway)
between the private network and the Internet or other networks. It also keeps hackers from
knowing internal IP addresses.
