Outbound Proxy
Outbound proxies allow devices on a red subnet to establish
communication with devices on black subnets. The outbound
proxy function performs a network address translation (NAT)
on any packets passing through the proxy. Outbound proxies
are, therefore, often used to allow users on unrouted red subnets
to have access to services on a black subnet.
If you want to allow people on the red network to browse the
World Wide Web on the Internet, define an outbound proxy as
described in the following table.
