Proxy

While the packet filter filters the data traffic on a network level, the use of a Proxy (also called an Application Gateway) increases the security of the RouteFinder on the application level, as there is no direct connection between client and server.

Proxy > HTTP Proxy

The HTTP Proxy is a module built into the RouteFinder to redirect HTTP requests from the clients in the LAN to the Internet.

HTTP Status

To enable HTTP, check the Status box and click Save. When you click Edit, the HTTP Allowed Networks part of the screen displays.

Screen Note: The RF830/RF830-AP includes two additional options in the Available

Networks/Hosts drop-down box: WAN2 and WAN2 Interface.

HTTP Allowed Networks

Available Networks/Hosts

This defines the allowed network/host for access to the HTTP. To select the networks you want to be available for the HTTP proxy, highlight the network name and click the Add button.
