Using a custom Service element

You can use Access rules that use a custom Service element to forward HTTP and HTTPS traffic to Forcepoint Web Security Cloud.

Note: This method requires Forcepoint NGFW version 6.4 or higher.

NAT is automatically applied to the communication between the client and the destination server, including reply packets.

Follow these general steps:

  1. Configure an EasyConnect service in the cloud Security Portal.
  2. In the SMC Management Client, create a Proxy Server element that represents Web Security Cloud.
  3. Create a custom Service element that references the Proxy Server element.
  4. Define the Access rule that selects traffic for forwarding to Web Security Cloud.
