Why can users access any host using the Replacement Proxy? .: 3SP Knowledgebase

Before version SSL-Explorer 0.1.13 secure proxy web forwards could be used to browse virtually any web site, all the user had to do was change the URL to point to their chosen target.

With the release of 0.1.13 a new feature was added to restrict a secure proxy web forward to the specified target host.

Also as of the version 0.2.0 all web forwards now remove the address bar from thebrowser window the web forward uses, this stops a user from simply entering any address that they want.

Notes:
The reverse proxy and single site features do not allow external link browsing by design.

Access Any host on 0.2.8_01

Hello,
I wonder if there is a work around on 0.2.8_01 to be able to give users access to any host or better say internet access through our SSL-Explorer as it goes through our proxies and gives us more control
Kind Regards
Samer

Any links followed on a Replacement Proxy should go to any host linked, but due to the nature of a reverse proxy, it will not always be able to replace all links correctly.

Another method could be to configure Network Extensions and force a route command to route everything through to your SSL-Explorer server.
