Http Redirect; Chapter 22 Http Redirect; Http Redirect Overview; Web Proxy Server - ZyXEL Communications UAG Series Reference Manual

This chapter shows you how to configure HTTP redirection on your UAG.

22.1 HTTP Redirect Overview

HTTP redirect forwards the client's HTTP request (except HTTP traffic destined for the UAG) to a web
proxy server.

22.1.1 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.
