Configure HTTP Proxy Settings

The server includes a transparent proxy and cache for HTTP traffic. It is enabled by default, unless the server is configured in a server-only configuration. If this server is acting as an email server, connections from local network clients to external SMTP servers will default to being redirected to the local email server.

The server's HTTP proxy works to reduce overall uplink usage by caching recently-visited pages. It is transparent to web browsers using this server as their gateway.

To enable or disable this proxy:

  1. Under Security, click Proxy settings.

  2. Select Enabled or Disabled.

  3. Click Save.
