Cascading Proxy Servers

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2025-12-29

A cascading proxy server is required when this unit needs another proxy server to do a proxy before gaining resources. To add a new cascading proxy server, click Add on Cascading Proxy Servers page in Proxy > Cascading Proxy Servers, and configure the parameters on the following page:

Name: Specify a unique name for the cascading proxy server.

Description: Enter an informative description for the cascading proxy server.

Server IP: Specify the IP address of the cascading proxy server.

Port: Specify the port of the cascading proxy server.

Server requires authentication: Specify whether user authentication is required to use the cascading proxy server. If this check box is selected, user authentication needs to be performed. Therefore, a username and password are required (by default, port 8080 is for the HTTP proxy server, and port 1080 is for the SOCKS4 or SOCKS45 proxy server. You can change the port based on your actual requirements).

To test connectivity between this unit and the cascading proxy server, click Test Validity. To save and apply the settings, click OK.
