CHAPTER 20
HTTP Redirect
This chapter shows you how to configure HTTP redirection on your ZyWALL / USG.
20.1 HTTP Redirect Overview
HTTP redirect forwards the client’s HTTP request (except HTTP traffic destined for the ZyWALL /
USG) to a web proxy server.
20.1.1 Web Proxy Server
A proxy server helps client devices make indirect requests to access the Internet or outside network
resources/services. A proxy server can act as a firewall or an ALG (application layer gateway)
between the private network and the Internet or other networks. It also keeps hackers from
knowing internal IP addresses.
