For web caching to work, the WAN optimization tunnel must accept HTTP (and optionally
HTTPS) traffic. To do this, the active rule on the client side must include the ports used for
HTTP (and HTTPS) traffic. Set Protocol set to HTTP to perform protocol optimization of
the HTTP traffic. You can also enable SSL offloading, secure tunneling, and add an
authentication group.
