3.1
Choosing the WebGate Computer
Depending on network and hardware configuration, there are more possibilities
for choosing an Avira AntiVir WebGate computer, as a “guard” between the user’s
client and the Internet.
A connection to the proxy server is especially needed, for ensuring a controlled
Internet access.
Avira AntiVir WebGate is adjusted first in terms of network configuration (see
Configuration
– Page 18). At the time of the installation, it must be decided on
which computer WebGate will be installed.
