    Hi,

    Im quite new with ProxySG. Just want to know, is it all deployment mode need to intercept SSL traffic in order to block HTTPS url in the policy?

    Thanks,

    Hi Amir,

    by default, ProxySG tunnels HTTPS traffic. SSL Interception is required to manage HTTPS traffic through policy.

    Hi Amir,

     

                       As Eric mentioned, a good effective control can be only imposed when SSL Interception is enabled. While with explicit proxy, we can still have url host based block possible as the browser will explicitly pass the request to proxy and it can see the domain the client is trying to go to. It is easier to put controls there and works to some extent without SSL Interception also.
