Proxy server
HTTP, SSL and FTP proxy server.
- Create a new virtual server using the Proxy server type.
The following modules should be added:
- FTP proxy
- HTTP proxy
- SSL proxy
- Configure the proxy modules.
You do usually not want outsiders to be able to connect to your
proxy server, since they might be able to use the proxy server to
reach your internal network. This is especially important for the
SSL proxy module. Therefore you should add a security
pattern to each module, by changing the Builtin variables/Proxy
security: Patterns variable. A suitable value is allow
ip=194.52.182.* with 194.52.182.* replaced with your network.
- Configure the Server variables.
- Configure a port. Since all requests to the server will
be sent as http, 80 is the obvious choice, but any other
port will do.
- Click Save to save the changes to disk. The server
will also try and open the chosen port. If the port opens
successfully, the proxy server will now be operational.
Note: Ports below 1024 can only be used if the server is run, or
at least started, as root.
