Configure
Direct Connect
 using a forward proxy

  • Configure a single public DNS entry for the forward proxy (for example, bp-proxy.mydomain.com).
    You can configure multiple proxy servers with separate DNS names (for example, if you have multiple
    Direct Connect
    -enabled proxy clusters that you want to identify separately).
  • Configure the external firewall to allow inbound connections on the port that the proxy will listen on. This can be any port you specify.
  • If the forward proxy is installed in a DMZ, ensure that port 17533 is open from the proxy to each
