Access rules let you modify your proxy’s behavior in three ways:
- Allow Access: Tells the proxy that requests does not require authentication and will pass through all advanced rules.
The request is still subject to the Web filtering service.- Deny Access: Tells the proxy to block access to the resource.
The proxy can reject the connection, display an error page, or redirect the request elsewhere.- ACL Object (Tag): Converts this rule into an ACL object that can be used within your advanced ACL rules.
A proxy rule is composed of three parts:
- Rule Action: Defines what the proxy should do when a match occurs—Reject, Allow, or Tag the request.
- Incoming Criteria: Specifies the sources of traffic hitting the proxy, such as client IP addresses, subnets, or the proxy’s listening port.
- Outgoing Criteria: Specifies the destination details for Internet–bound requests, including target domains (by name or pattern) and their URL categories.
