Separate web cache server in XG Firewall

Muhammad Osama over 8 years ago

Can we use a web caching server to be used in conjunction with the XG Firewall?

Osama,

XG already cache web traffic content. The option is enabled under Web > Advanced.

Unless you use the other server as proxy server, you cannot do it.

Thanks for your reply Luk.

I am aware of the web caching done by the XG Firewall, but our company is actually looking on deploying a server that caches netflix data overtime so that our customers, who are in remote camps, can view browse data from that server rather than the original netflix servers.

You can put the other appliance into bridge mode (between XG and your LAN switch) and check if traffic is really cached.

Let us know.
