Configuration
Avira GmbH
Avira AntiVir WebGate
22
The example assumes the following configuration of the proxy server:
host proxy.mycompany.com
serverport 3128
So the proxy server responds on port 3128.
X
Make the following settings in
avwebgate.conf
(example):
HTTPPort 8080
X
Configure the other proxy server, so that it does not directly serve inquiries to
the Internet, but directs them to WebGate (e. g. port 8080). This port must
correspond to the value of
HTTPPort
in
avwebgate.conf
.
–
Example for a Squid proxy server:
In this configuration, you must first start WebGate and then the proxy server.
Squid proxy has to direct all inquiries to WebGate (parent proxy), so you have
to configure the Squid configuration file
squid.conf
as follows:
cache_peer proxy.mycompany.com parent 8080 0 no-query
no-digest default
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
never_direct allow all
If WebGate is installed on the proxy server machine:
X
Make sure that WebGate and the proxy server do not respond on the same
server ports, such as is the case in the above example.
When a Client asks for data, which can be found on the proxy server’s cache, it will receive
its data directly from there. These data will not be scanned, until the cache is emptied. It
bears a risk, because a new virus might "penetrate" and it could be forwarded to Clients,
even if they have updated VDFs.
