Port Forwarding to Support Third Party Agents

The port forwarding feature allows users having more than one local proxy, to enter multiple IP addresses and port numbers of their local proxies, thus enabling the inline proxy to forward the web traffic to the user's local proxies.

This feature can be used if a 3rd party agent is also running on the endpoint which is intercepting traffic using a PAC file and redirecting to a local proxy. In this case, the IP address and port of the local proxy needs to be configured to ensure Forcepoint F1E endpoint also receives the traffic.

Steps to configure port forwarding

  1. Navigate to FSM > Deployment > Endpoint Profiles.

    You can see the list of profiles available for users.

  2. Click on the required Profile and go to Properties Section.
  3. In the Web Traffic Detection Mode, select Endpoint Inline Proxy.
  4. Disable the system PAC file.
  5. Enter your local proxy IP address and port number.
    Note:

    If more than one proxy is to be set, then each entry should be separated by a comma ","

    E.G:- 127.0.0.1:9000, 127.0.0.100:9001

  6. Select Save.
  7. Click Deploy.
    Note: Update the Forcepoint DLP Endpoint software.
  8. Close your already opened browser session and reopen it.
