WebGate without Proxy Server (Network Configuration 0)
If there is no proxy server, WebGate stands between Clients and the Internet. It
can be installed directly on Clients or on another computer.
WebGate directs the Clients’ enquiries to the Internet and scans the answer from
the Internet. The access to infected files from a Website is blocked and only not
infected files are forwarded to the Client. From the Client’s point of view, WebGate
is functioning as a proxy server.
Make the following settings in
avwebgate.conf
(example):
HTTPPort 8080
Configure the browser according to the Clients. For "Proxy Server Address" you
need to enter the IP address of the WebGate computer.
If WebGate is installed on the actual Client, we recommend the following settings in
avwebgate.conf
:
HTTPPort 127.0.0.1:8080
.
For Proxy server address enter the IP address
127.0.0.1
or
localhost
.
The real settings can differ from those given in the example, but for a correct
configuration, the settings in
avwebgate.conf
must be compatible with the Client’s
browser configuration.
