Title: In Need of Some Assistance
Post by: C4D3N on Friday 24 February 2012, 04:10:45 am
I am trying to figure out how you use the authentication user to bypass the firewall.  I also need to know if there is a proxy through the firewall that allows me to bypass the blocks if I use that IP.  And one more thing, when you make changes to the content filter and such, and it asks you to apply the changes, does this shut down the whole firewall momentarily, or is it a quick process that doesn't interrupt anything?

Thanks, I will greatly appreciate it if anyone answers any of my questions.

Changes to content filter will restart proxy, antivirus (if enabled) and content filter. Depending on system configuration this could take up to 30 sec. Up to 0ne minute for old pc's. During this time users will receive an error while trying to access the internet.

You must configure authentication in order to use it. If have a fully functioning domain with user authentication you must configure proxy to use it Proxy > Authentication > Choose Authentication Method. Then you tell the client that proxy requires authentication and you are ready to go. Most probably you will have issues while configuring this....

You can bypass proxy from subnet/ip or mask or to subnet/ip or mask.
