Proxy Servers reference Configure the list of proxy servers and rules that Client Proxy uses when redirecting web requests. Table 2 Proxy Servers settings Specify how McAfee Client Proxy selects a proxy server from the list. Proxy Server Address Proxy Port HTTP/HTTPS Non-HTTP/HTTPS Redirected Ports Enable Auto proxy switch over Polling interval Specify additional ports that you would like to redirect as HTTP/HTTPS traffic Bypass proxy server for local addresses Select an option: connect to the first accessible Proxy Server based on their order in the list below The software selects the next proxy server from the list that you configure. connect to the Proxy Server which has the fastest response time The software selects the next proxy server from the list that it maintains, which is based on response time. Specify the IP address or host name of the proxy server. Specify the port number of the proxy server. When selected, Client Proxy redirects all web requests sent to ports 80 and 443 to a proxy server. Specify the port numbers of protocols other than HTTP/HTTPS whose requests you want redirected. Verify that the proxy server supports these protocols. When selected, Client Proxy checks the proxy server list at the specified interval to see if a higher priority server is available. If available, Client Proxy automatically switches to that proxy server. Specify how often Client Proxy checks the proxy server list to see if a higher priority server is available. Range: seconds Recommended value: 60 seconds Specify the numbers of other ports whose web requests you want redirected like HTTP/HTTPS traffic. For example, you can redirect requests sent to an application the same as requests sent to a web browser. When deselected, Client Proxy redirects all web requests, including those sent to local addresses inside your organization's network, to a proxy server. By default, this setting is selected, and Client Proxy does not redirect requests sent to local addresses inside your organization's network. 2

3 Client Configuration reference Configure the settings that specify how the Client Proxy policy is applied when end users are located inside and outside the network. Table 3 definitions Category Customer Identifier Download the customer ID XML file from the Web Gateway or McAfee WGCS server before configuring this page. You cannot save the configuration without this information. Browse Shared Password Unique Customer ID Navigates to the customer identification XML file location. Hashed password provided by the Web Gateway or McAfee WGCS administrator. Customer identification number provided by the Web Gateway or McAfee WGCS administrator.

Table 5 definitions Add Allow traffic to go directly to destination Block traffic for all processes (except bypass listed processes) Block traffic only for the following processes Cancel Delete Edit Process Name Adds the new process name to the Block List. When selected, all network traffic is directed to the intended destination. (Default configuration) When selected, blocks all network traffic unrecognized by Client Proxy. We do not recommend using this option. Selecting this option can result in loss of all network connectivity except by browsers. Attempting to use other software to connect to the Internet can disrupt communication between the security server and endpoint computer, preventing end users from accessing their computers. When selected, blocks all network traffic on the Block List. The built-in list contains the standard Microsoft Windows and OS X browsers. Add processes to the list with the Process Name text box.
