Web Proxy
You can use the Web Proxy settings and FortiGate interface settings to enable explicit
HTTP and HTTPS proxying on one or more interfaces. When enabled, the FortiGate unit
becomes a web proxy server. All HTTP and HTTPS session received by interfaces with
Explicit web proxy enabled are intercepted by the explicit web proxy relayed to their
destinations.
To use the explicit proxy, users must add the IP address of a FortiGate interface and the
explicit proxy port number to the proxy configuration settings of their web browsers.
On FortiGate units that support WAN optimization you can also enable web caching for
the explicit proxy. For more information, see “Web caching” on page 610.
To enable explicit web proxy on an interface, go to System > Network > Interface, select
the interface, and enable explicit web proxy. If VDOMs are enabled, only interfaces that
belong to the current VDOM and have explicit web proxy enabled will be displayed. If you
enable the web proxy on an interface that has VLANs on it, the VLANs will only be
enabled for web proxy if you manually enable each of them. Web proxy is not in the Global
Network section when VDOMs are enabled.
Web proxies are configured for each VDOM when VDOMs are enabled.
To configure web proxies go to System > Network > Web Proxy.
Figure 72: Configuring Web Proxy settings
Note: To enable protection profiles for explicit web proxy traffic, you must configure 2
VDOMs and use inter-VDOM routing to pass the web traffic between them.
Proxy FQDN Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the proxy server.
This is the domain name to enter into browsers to access the proxy
server.
Max HTTP request length Enter the maximum length of an HTTP request. Larger requests
will be rejected.
