Addresses

This topic covers security and relaying issues connected with FTGate’s Proxy service. The IP addresses allow/disallow options in FTGate.

 

By defining the IP addresses in the 'Permit connections from the following addresses' field, the connection requests from those IP addresses or ranges would be permitted.

 

Entering IP addresses in the 'Refuse connections from the following addresses' would make FTGate refuse connections from those IP addresses. These two options are powerful security measures, but use them carefully as they can also shut legitimate users out.

 

The following properties are available:

 

Property

Description
