Question

Site can't be reached

Hello Everyone,

 

So I have been trying to figure out which Inspection mode to use - Flow or Proxy mode.  I have seen issues where certain websites will not load on Flow mode (i.e. instagram.com) but it work on Proxy mode.  But then if I change to Proxy mode, website like amazon.com will not come up - site can't be reached error.  Very frustrating!!!!

 

Any one else have these issues, thanks in advanced!

 

Alfred

    Hi,

     

    If you are using deep inspection in the policy, it is always recommended to use Proxy mode inspection.
