By default, that is when using the only pre‐supplied Upstream Proxy policy, Scanning servers are
allowed direct access to the internet in every situation.
To limit Scanning server direct access in certain situations, and instead direct the Scanning server to
an Upstream Proxy, you need to define and assign it an appropriate Upstream Proxy policy.
This chapter contains the following procedures:
•
Defining an Upstream Proxy Policy
•
Defining a Rule in an Upstream Proxy Policy
•
Defining Conditions in an Upstream Proxy Rule
Defining an Upstream Proxy Policy

You
cannot
edit
a

Policy.

you
can
duplicate
