3. All http traffic (on port 80) that is not Whitelisted, and only http traffic (not https or secure
traffic) is intercepted and redirected to the internal proxy server (Transparent Proxy). The
internal proxy server does URL blocking and domain blocking. Also, the internal proxy server
can speak to an upstream proxy server to provide compression (premium service--fees apply).
Traffic through the internal proxy server can take one of several paths, dependent upon
whether or not compression is enabled.
•
If compression is DISABLED, http traffic goes straight to the Internet.
•
If compression is ENABLED:
o
all http traffic goes to the upstream compression proxy server and returns a
compressed page. Ads are stripped out, text is compressed, images are
resampled and more. On average, you will experience 3-5x compression on http
traffic, thereby increasing the speed of your connection and your effective per
Mb cost of your connection.
o
Whitelisted Hosts or URLs bypass the upstream compression proxy server and
go straight to the Internet, bypassing compression.
•
Blacklisted Hosts or URLs have no Internet access, regardless of compression status.
