Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (Forcepoint NGFW) can forward web traffic to Forcepoint Web Security Cloud for inspection. The traffic is inspected in Web Security Cloud and transparently forwarded to the destination.

Select the method to use based on your needs and the Forcepoint NGFW version.

When using the Access rules, NAT rules, or custom Service element method, you must configure an EasyConnect service in the cloud Security Portal for Web Security Cloud and create a Proxy Server element in the SMC Management Client.

You can use Access rules to forward traffic that uses the HTTP and TLS Network Applications to Forcepoint Web Security Cloud.

You can use NAT rules to forward traffic that uses the HTTP and TLS Network Applications to Forcepoint Web Security Cloud.

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

You can use a policy-based VPN to redirect traffic. Add the Forcepoint NGFW Engine as an Edge Device using the IPsec Advanced feature of Web Security Cloud.
