Need some help, total newbie to networking / firewalls, i tried reading tons of materials online about proxies and still don't understand the concept..
I have a physical firewall and want to know what is the use of HTTPS proxy or TCP/UDP proxy policy. I tried to install an app that requires to establish a connection(for verification) to a server through the web and it got blocked by the firewall, i read the logs saying something about https proxy denied or something, so i went ahead and created a https proxy policy to allow the connection.
I just need someone to explain what is a HTTPS proxy or proxy in general in as layman terms as possible, and why my above example needed a https proxy to work. Thank you in advance!
