  • Hi,

     

    Depends on your network requirements and what clients are you using? 

    I´m using both because XG is offering both. PAC File with Standard proxy. 

    Mobile Devices with transparent. 

    Cheers

    What's the advantage for using non-transparent Proxy nowadays?

    I am maintaining some Setups using the Non-Transparent Proxy. There we often deal with issues connected to web-traffic which is not initiated by the browser but by applications. The origin of those problems often comes from those applications not beeing able to authenticate via NTLM or because these Applications are not able to get a propper Explicit-Proxy-Setting configured.

    Users can get rid of this when using transparent proxies what is a huge advantage in my eyes!

  • With transparent proxy you can apply Firewall rules based on FQDN. With traditional proxy you can't.
