Learn how a proxy device work in BlueCoat training:
- So basically a proxy device is an intermediate hardware or software which intercepts the traffic which is generated from your internal network towards internet and vice-versa. So if a traffic generating from your internal network and trying to go to internet to get some data and proxy intercept that traffic and do anything. There is two rules or whatever it is, these particular proxy deployment we call as forward proxy.
- Now however if the traffic is generated from Internet and the traffic is coming to your internal network, proxy can manage that traffic as well and we call that as a reverse proxy. Let’ see what is forward proxy, so a user want to access any external sites and the Google.com is the requirement of the user and here is the proxy. If the user type google.com in the browser and hot enter it will go to the proxy and it will intercept the traffic, it will understand with the source and with the destination of this particular traffic.
- It will then start a new connection towards the web server and fetch the data. So your web server does not know who your user is. It will know your user as the proxy, so it cannot get to know your internal network and that way the outside network only knows the details of your proxy solution and your internal network is fully secured. By the way any traffic during this transaction if it’s malicious, it something needs to be dropped and everything will be taken care by in Google.
