12.5.5 Configuring a Proxy Server
The EBW-E100 provides a proxy server. This does not serve as a cache for
frequently accessed websites. It is used to delay the connection timeouts for
connections that load slowly and to filter undesired URLs (e.g. www.xyz.xx).
The proxy supports the HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
Configuration via web interface (menu "Server services", page "Proxy")
In order to enable the proxy server, check the checkbox "Activate proxy
server".
Enter in the entry field "Port of proxy server" the port, which you want to
use to access the proxy server from the internal network at the IP
address of the EBW-E100.
In order to terminate connections,which seem to be inactive, after a
certain time, you can configure the time in seconds in the entry field
"Timeout for inactive connections".
In order to avoid overloading, you can restrict the number of clients
which can connect at the same time. Enter the maximum number of
simultaneously authorized clients in the entry field "Maximum amount of
allowed clients".
In order to increase the availability of the proxy, you can define a
minimum number of proxy server processes. Enter the desired number
of proxy server processes that are always running into the entry field
"Minimum amount of free proxy servers".
In order to avoid overloading with proxy requests, you can define a
maximum number of proxy server processes. An individual proxy server
process is started on the EBW-E100 for each client request. Enter the
desired maximum number of simultaneous proxy server processes in the
entry field "Maximum amount of free proxy servers" for this. If more
requests are received than proxy servers are available, the additional
requests are rejected.
Save your settings by clicking "OK".
