fn-eagle Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 In “ordinary” proxying, the client specifies the hostname and port number of a proxy in his web browsing software. The browser then makes requests to the proxy, and the proxy forwards them to the origin servers. This is all fine, but sometimes one of several situations arises. Either • You want to force clients on your network to use the proxy, whether they want to or not. • You want clients to use a proxy, but don't want them to know they're being proxied. • You want clients to be proxied, but don't want to go to all the work of updating the settings in hundreds or thousands of web browsers. This is where transparent proxying comes in. Read more here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
