5.2. Manual HTTP/FTP proxy configuration
The manual proxy configuration (see figure 5-2) is characteristic by explicit specifying of
parent proxy listen address and port in the configuration of proxied user agent.
Figure 5-2. Scheme of ESET Gateway Security as a manual proxy.
The proxy server in this case usually modifies requests and/or responses transferred, i.e. works
in the non-transparent mode. The manual proxying support of
esets_http
has been tested with
the wide range of most common user agents, i.e. proxy caches (Squid Proxy Cache, SafeSquid),
client browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Konqueror). In general every HTTP user agent
supporting manual parent proxy settings will cooperate with
esets_http
module. In the next we
describe manual proxy configuration setting of
esets_http
with Mozilla Firefox and with Squid
Web Proxy Cache that are one of the most common HTTP user agent applications.
5.2.1. Manual proxy configuration of Mozilla Firefox
The manual HTTP/FTP proxy configuration of
esets_http
with the Mozilla Firefox is described
in general by the left side of the figure 4-2.
Note that this configuration allows to install ESET Gateway Security anywhere within the local
network including gateway server and also user agent’s computer.
In this example we configure
esets_http
to listen to port 8080 of the computer with local
network IP address 192.168.1.10 by specifying the following parameters within [http] section of
main
ESETS configuration file:
agent_enabled = yes
listen_addr = ”192.168.1.10”
listen_port = 8080
Note that the parameter ‘listen_addr’ can be specified also as the host name visible from the
local network.
In order to set up Mozilla to use
esets_http
one has to select the ‘Edit’ menu from the menu
bar and from there ‘Preferences’ (in older versions of Mozilla one has to select ‘Tools’ menu and
from there ‘Options’). Then click on ‘Connection settings’ found under ‘General’ settings and select
