2.2.6. Proxy customization

The default settings of the protocol proxies of Zorp ensure that the traffic complies with the relevant RFC of the given protocol. To provide flexibility, and to solve a wide variety of custom scenarios, the proxies can be customized and their parameters can be changed to best suit the needs of the environment and the security requirements. For example, it is possible to:

  • disable selected commands in FTP

  • modify the transferred headers in HTTP

  • permit using only selected web browsers

  • specify which encryption algorithms are permitted in SSL/TLS

In addition, the proxies in Zorp are fully scriptable, and can be programmed in Python to perform any custom functionality. For information on customizing proxies, see Section 6.6.1, Customizing proxies, and Zorp Professional 7 Reference Guide.
