# Add Access rules to forward traffic

Define the connections that you want to forward in Access rules.

##

If the proxy service is in the cloud, a rule is needed to forward the matching traffic to the proxy service. If the proxy service is on premises, a rule is needed to forward the matching traffic to the proxy service and a second rule is needed to allow the connection from the proxy service to the original destination.

## Steps

1. Select Engine.
2. Browse to Policies > Engine Policies.
3. Right-click a policy, then select Edit Engine Policy.
4. Add a rule that forwards traffic to the proxy service.

   Source | Destination | Service | Action
   --- | --- | --- | ---
   Original source address of the traffic. For example, clients in the internal network. | Original destination address of the traffic. For example, a web server. | The HTTP and TLS Network Application elements. | Allow. Action options: Proxy Server selected for the Forward Traffic to option.

5. (If the proxy service is on premises) Add a rule that allows traffic from the proxy service to the original destination.

   Source | Destination | Service | Action
   --- | --- | --- | ---
   Proxy Server | Original destination address of the traffic. For example, a web server. | The HTTP and TLS Network Application elements. | Allow.

   Make sure that you add this rule above the rule in the previous step to avoid potential loops if the proxy service is located in the same internal network as the clients.
