Disabling the HTTP Proxy Setting
A proxy is a computer procedure that receives and examines packet
headers and packet content. If the proxy finds packet headers or
packet contents that do not obey the proxy rules, those packets are
denied, blocked, or stripped. The proxy policy monitors and controls
traffic to protect your network from the Internet.
Many Web browsers use the HTTP proxy to monitor incoming Inter-
net traffic. When this proxy is enabled, you can see Web pages on
the Internet, but you cannot see Web pages in other locations.
Because you must see pages that are stored or saved on the Firebox
X Edge to complete the installation procedure, you must disable this
proxy temporarily.
