3.1

Choosing the WebGate Computer

Depending on network and hardware configuration, there are more possibilities 
for choosing an Avira AntiVir WebGate computer, as a “guard” between the user’s 
client and the Internet.

A connection to the proxy server is especially needed, for ensuring a controlled 
Internet access.

Avira AntiVir WebGate is adjusted first in terms of network configuration (see 

 – Page 18). At the time of the installation, it must be decided on 

which computer WebGate will be installed.
