Description
NOTE: The proxy server must be located on the WAN or DMZ; it can not be located on the LAN.
Scenario 1: Proxy Web server is located on DMZ zone
- Login to the SonicWall management interface and navigate to Manage | Network | Web Proxy.
- Enter the Web Proxy server Name or IP address: e.g. 192.168.2.250.
- Enter the Proxy server Port: e.g. 8080 (assuming proxy server is configured to listen on port 8080).
- Click Apply to save the changes
SonicOS will auto add two NAT policies:
- The first will translate the traffic from Web Proxy Server back to HTTP.
- The second will forward HTTP request coming from all LAN PC's to the Web Proxy Server (192.168.2.250) on Port 8080, which is reachable via DMZ interface.
NOTE: These are auto generated NAT policies and cannot be edited/modified.
Scenario 2: Proxy Web Server located on WAN zone
- Login to the SonicWall management interface and navigate to Manage | Network | Web Proxy.
- Enter the Proxy server Name or IP address: e.g. 1.1.1.5.
- Enter the Proxy server Port: e.g. 8080 (assuming proxy server is configured to listen on port 8080).
- Click Apply to save the changes.
SonicOS will auto add one NAT policy:
- The policy will forward HTTP requests coming from all LAN PC's to the Web Proxy Server (1.1.1.5) on Port 8080, which is reachable via the WAN / X1 interface.
NOTE: This is an auto generated NAT policy and cannot be edited/modified.
