Hello All,

 

Iam trying to understand how fortigate explicit proxy works and how is the traffic flow with explicit proxy and proxy policies.

How do a traffic flow ( Client to Fortigate firewall as a proxy -> Proxy Policy -> normal policies -> ) , or is they any other way this works.

Do we need normal policies for explicit proxy or we don't required.

 

Any documents or related content i helpful
