SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
Configuring Automatic Proxy Forwarding (Web Only)
Note The proxy server must be located on the WAN or DMZ; it can not be located on the LAN.
To configure a Proxy Web sever, select the Network > Web Proxy page.
Step 1 Connect your Web proxy server to a hub, and connect the hub to the SonicWALL security
appliance WAN or DMZ port.
Step 2 Type the name or IP address of the proxy server in the Proxy Web Server (name or IP
address) field.
Step 3 Type the proxy IP port in the Proxy Web Server Port field.
Step 4 To bypass the Proxy Servers if a failure occurs, select the Bypass Proxy Servers Upon Proxy
Server Failure check box.
Step 5 Select Forward DMZ Client Requests to Proxy Server if you have clients configured on the
DMZ.
Step 6 Click Accept. Once the SonicWALL security appliance 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
security appliance 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.
