Configuring Automatic Proxy Forwarding (Web Only) - SonicWALL SonicOS Enhanced 2.2 Administrator's Manual

Configuring Automatic Proxy Forwarding (Web Only)

Alert!
The proxy server must be located on the WAN; it can not be located on the LAN.
To configure a Proxy Web sever, select the Network>Web Proxy page.
1. Connect your Web proxy server to a hub, and connect the hub to the SonicWALL WAN port.
2. Type the name or IP address of the proxy server in the Proxy Web Server (name or IP address)
field.
3. Type the proxy IP port in the Proxy Web Server Port field.
4. To bypass the Proxy Servers if a failure occurs, select the Bypass Proxy Servers Upon Proxy
Server Failure check box.
5. Select Forward DMZ Client Requests to Proxy Server if you have clients configured on the DMZ.
6. Click Apply. Once the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming the update is displayed
at the bottom of the browser window.
Bypass Proxy Servers Upon Proxy Failure
If a Web proxy server is specified on the Firewall>Web Proxy page, selecting the Bypass Proxy
Servers Upon Proxy Server Failure check box allows clients behind the SonicWALL to bypass the Web
proxy server in the event it becomes unavailable. Instead, the client's browser accesses the Internet
directly as if a Web proxy server is not specified.
