Set the HTTP proxy on a BYOC Premises Edge with an LCD

You can set the Edge HTTP proxy using either the internal LCD in the Edge Standard v1 or an external LCD connected to the Edge Standard v2/v3, Edge Mini v1/v2, or Edge Micro.

The Edge uses RFC-2817 HTTP CONNECT to establish a TLS connection through a proxy server. HTTP CONNECT allows an HTTP TCP connection to upgrade to HTTPS TLS. This creates an HTTP CONNECT tunnel. 

Notes: 
  • Required authentication is not permitted on the HTTP proxy.
  • You may need to configure the proxy server with a policy that allows TCP tunneling without HTTPS interception.
  • While this operation typically doesn’t require you to reboot the Edge, some network environments may require a new HTTP request from the device for validation. Rebooting the Edge will initiate a new HTTP request, thus providing the validation.

Note: Check that an Ethernet cable connects your network to the Edge port labeled Port 1 (WAN).
