Setting Up Web Proxy Forwarding
Network > Web Proxy
A Web proxy server intercepts HTTP requests and determines if it has stored copies of the
requested Web pages. If it does not, the proxy completes the request to the server on the
Internet, returning the requested information to the user and also saving it locally for future
requests. Setting up a Web proxy server on a network can be cumbersome, because each
computer on the network must be configured to direct Web requests to the server.

If you have a proxy server on your network, instead of configuring each computer’s Web
browser to point to the proxy server, you can move the server to the WAN and enable Web
