Add proxy server details for registration

Updated

Your ISP may require you to use a proxy server to access the Internet. For the Smoothwall Appliance to connect to our cloud services and send date, you must add your proxy server’s details. The data sent includes:

  • Whether modules are installed and in use.
  • The number of internal and external interfaces.
  • Authentication settings and the Directory types that are set up.
  • Hardware names and types.
  • Filtering policy details, logs, and performance statistics.
  • Log entries for system reboots, shutdowns, and errors.

To set up the upstream registration proxy:

  1. Go to System > Preferences > Registration options.
  2. In the Upstream registration proxy section:
  3. For Server, enter the hostname or IP address of the proxy server.
  4. Use the default Port number of 80, or amend this field.
  5. Enter the Username and Password provided by your ISP.
  6. Select Save.
