3.Enter the name or IP address of the proxy server in the Proxy Web Server field, and the proxy IP port in the Proxy Web Server Port field. Click Update.

4.If the Web proxy server is located on the WAN between the SonicWALL and the Internet router, add the Web proxy server address in the SonicWALL Intranet tab. Click the Intranet tab at the top of the window.

5.To bypass the Proxy Servers if a failure occurs, select the Bypass Proxy Servers Upon Proxy Server Failure check box.

6.In the Intranet tab, enter the proxy server's IP address in the Add Range field.

7.Select Specified address ranges are attached to the WAN link and click Update. Once the SonicWALL 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 in the Proxy Relay tab of the Advanced section, selecting the Bypass Proxy Servers Upon Proxy Server Failure check box allows clients behind the SonicWALL 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.

Internet Security Appliances specifications

SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances are pivotal solutions aimed at safeguarding networks from an ever-evolving array of cyber threats. Designed for small to medium-sized businesses, as well as enterprises, these appliances deliver robust security and high-performance capabilities.

One of the main features of SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances is their Unified Threat Management (UTM) functionality. This integrated approach allows organizations to manage multiple security measures, including firewall protection, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and antivirus capabilities, within a single device. This consolidation simplifies security management and reduces the risk of vulnerabilities from disparate systems.

Another significant technology found in these appliances is Application Control. This feature enables administrators to monitor and regulate the applications and services used within their networks, ensuring that bandwidth is allocated efficiently, and potentially harmful applications are blocked. Coupled with Content Filtering, SonicWALL offers granular policies to restrict access to inappropriate or non-work-related content, enhancing overall productivity while maintaining security.

SonicWALL appliances also utilize advanced cybersecurity technologies like SonicWall Capture Threat Assessment and Capture Advanced Threat Protection. These solutions leverage artificial intelligence to identify and remove sophisticated malware and ransomware threats before they infiltrate the network. This proactive approach ensures that only safe email and web traffic is allowed through, providing comprehensive protection against advanced persistent threats.

Moreover, SonicWALL’s Global Management System (GMS) enables centralized control over multiple security devices, making it easy for IT teams to maintain a consistent security posture across various locations. This capability is especially beneficial for organizations with distributed networks, as it provides real-time visibility into network activity and security incidents.

The appliances are also designed with scalability in mind. Whether an organization grows or needs to adjust its security policies, SonicWALL appliances can be updated, expanded, or modified without significant disruptions. This flexibility makes them a long-term investment for any business focused on network security.

In addition, SonicWALL's user-friendly interface simplifies the deployment and management processes. With intuitive dashboards and reporting tools, administrators can easily track security events, analyze network traffic patterns, and respond swiftly to potential threats.

In summary, SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances combine essential features like Unified Threat Management, Application Control, and advanced threat protection technologies into a cohesive security solution. Their scalability, centralized management capabilities, and user-friendly interfaces make them an excellent choice for businesses aiming to strengthen their cyber defenses in a complex digital landscape.
