Why Proxy your HTTP requests?

Proxying requests providers more control.

The three most common proxies:

    • HTTP proxy (so you can close port 80 and 443)
    • Internal DNS servers (proxy requests to the outside world)
    • Internal Mail server (relays incoming and outgoing mail to the world)

Wireshark vs Fiddler

    • Fiddler is http only proxy –  Wireshark works for all TCP ports
    • What ports need to ALWAYS Open OUTBOUND? There are no ports that need to be opened for full access in your outbound firewall rules.

Summary

This is a quick recap of the benefits of using an http proxy (e.g. Fiddler and Wireshark)
