    Why did you change the proxy port to 8080?

    Please post a copy of your firewall rule?

    Proxy Port 8080 (3128) is used for a Standard / Direct Proxy. 

    So called the Client is talking directly to the Proxy (XG Interface).

    If a Client communicate through XG into the Internet (Port 443 and 80), XG can actually scan such Traffic via Transparent Proxy. 

    Both Modes are enabled per Default, but needs a Firewall Rule.

    Thank you Toni,

    I was asking why did he need to change it from the default, what benefit did he perceive he would receive?

    Depends on the setup.

    Most likely you change this because your old product worked with 8080 and you want to continue to work with 8080.

    (For example "unmanaged" devices with Port 8080).
