Configuring Security Services Settings

This page provides the ability for SonicWALL firewall appliances that operate in networks where they must access the Internet through a proxy server to download signatures. This feature also allows for registration of SonicWALL firewall appliances through a proxy server without compromising privacy.

The Security Services > Settings page is available for appliances running SonicOS Enhanced 5.6 and higher.

To enable signature download or appliance registration through a proxy server, complete the following steps:

1	Select the global icon, a group, or a SonicWALL appliance.

2	Expand the Security Services tree and click Settings.

 

3	Select Download Signatures through a Proxy Server.

4	In the Proxy Server Name or IP Address field, enter the hostname or IP address of the proxy server.

5	In the Proxy Server Port field, enter the port number used to connect to the proxy server.

6	Select This Proxy Server requires Authentication if the proxy server requires a username and password.
