To enable the use of parent proxies, you need to enable the feature under the “Your System” “Features” section.

Connect your Artica server to an upstream proxy parent

The parent settings is defined by a rule.

A rule explains how to use a proxy parent according to conditions (ACLs)

For this step, we need our Artica server to use the parent proxy 192.168.40.5 on 3128 port for both SSL and HTTP requests.

• Select the “Rules” section
• Click on New Rule
• Give the name of your rule
• Enable the “Never Direct” that force our Artica Proxy to use the parent in all cases ( if the parent is unavailable, our Artica proxy generates a connection error to browsers)

• Click on the new generated rule.
• Choose “Parent proxies”
• Click on New Proxy

Add the parent proxy address and port

Your parent is added into the rule, click on Apply Rules to make changes in production  mode.
