Routing Your Gateway Deployed on EC2 Through an HTTP Proxy
AWS Storage Gateway supports the configuration of a Socket Secure version 5 (SOCKS5) proxy between
your gateway deployed on Amazon EC2 and AWS.
If your gateway must use a proxy server to communicate to the internet, then you need to configure the
HTTP proxy settings for your gateway. You do this by specifying an IP address and port number for the
host running your proxy. After you do so, AWS Storage Gateway routes all HTTPS traffic through your
proxy server.
To route your gateway internet traffic through a local proxy server
1. Log in to your gateway's local console. For instructions, see Logging In to Your Amazon EC2 Gateway
Local Console (p. 244).
2. On the AWS Appliance Activation - Configuration main menu, enter 1 to begin configuring the
HTTP proxy.
