Exclude IP Addresses from Proxy Server Processing

Setting up exceptions for the traffic of individual users or traffic to certain Internet resources from passing and processing by a web proxy available as part of UTM.

Resource exclusions from proxy server processing only work for transparent proxy mode. With direct connections to the proxy server, it is impossible to exclude anything from proxy processing.

Two types of exceptions can be configured:

  • Exclusion of traffic of local UTM network hosts directed externally from proxy processing (Source networks).
  • Exclusion of traffic of all hosts in the local network served by UTM to certain resources in external networks (Destination networks).

You can only specific IP addresses or IP networks.

Traffic excluded from proxy processing will not participate in Reports, and also cannot be tested for viruses and processed by the Content filter module. At the same time, such traffic will be checked by a firewall, intrusion prevention services, and application control.

Programs Running on Protocols Other Than HTTP(S) via Web Proxy

Some programs that send traffic to their servers on ports 80 and 443, but at the same time work on protocols other than HTTP(S), cannot be processed by a web proxy server on UTM with HTTPS traffic filtering enabled. The traffic of such programs should be excluded from proxy processing in the Destination networks field.
