Proxy

Use this page to configure a proxy server to provide access to external resources (auto-update, blacklists, and so on). Fill in the proxy server's address, port, and, (optionally) a username and password to use for authentication to the proxy server. You can apply the configuration by clicking Save. Configuration can be tested by clicking Test connection. This test tries to connect to services.flowmon.com using the configured proxy server.

Certificate verification is a mandatory step for all connections to external resources secured with SSL/TLS. To establish a secure connection using the configured proxy server, the Flowmon appliance must be able to verify the proxy server's identity by verifying its server certificate. This process requires a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. If the connection test fails, try adding the proxy server's CA certificate in Configuration Center > System > System Settings > Certificate Management.

Certificate Authority

A certificate of a Certificate Authority (CA) is not the server certificate issued to your proxy server. It is the certificate that issues or signs the certificate of your proxy server.
