HTTP Redirect

This chapter shows you how to configure HTTP redirection on your ZyWALL.

13.1 HTTP Redirect Overview

HTTP redirect forwards the client’s HTTP request (except HTTP traffic destined for the ZyWALL) to a web proxy server.

13.1.1 Web Proxy Server

A proxy server helps client devices make indirect requests to access the Internet or outside network resources/services. A proxy server can act as a firewall or an ALG (application layer gateway) between the private network and the Internet or other networks. It also keeps hackers from knowing internal IP addresses.
