Routing Your Gateway Deployed on Amazon EC2 Through a
Proxy
AWS Storage Gateway supports the configuration of a Socket Secure version 5 (SOCKS5) proxy between
your gateway deployed on Amazon EC2 and AWS.
Note
The only proxy configuration AWS Storage Gateway supports is SOCKS5.
If your gateway must use a proxy server to communicate to the Internet, then you need to configure
the SOCKS proxy settings for your gateway. You do this by specifying an IP address and port number
for the host running your proxy. After you do so, AWS Storage Gateway will route all HyperText Transfer
Protocol Secure (HTTPS) traffic through your proxy server.
To route your gateway Internet traffic through a local proxy server
1. Log in to your gateway's local console. For instructions, see
Logging In to Your Amazon EC2 Gateway
.
2. On the
AWS Storage Gateway Configuration
main menu, type
1
to begin configuring the SOCKS
proxy.
