When a browser is configured to use an explicit proxy connection to the ProxySG, incoming HTTPS traffic from that browser is intercepted by which proxy service?

When a browser is configured to use an explicit proxy connection to the ProxySG, the incoming HTTPS traffic is specifically managed by the SSL Proxy service. This service is designed to handle secure HTTPS connections and is essential in situations where the browser is actively configured to tunnel traffic through the ProxySG for purposes such as encryption, content filtering, and logging.

In this context, the explicit proxy configuration means that the browser is directed to send all traffic, including HTTPS traffic, through the ProxySG. The SSL Proxy then intercepts this traffic, allowing the ProxySG to inspect and manage the data securely. This capability is crucial for applying security policies that include threat detection, content filtering, and ensuring compliance with organizational policies.

While options like Transparent HTTP and Firewall service do relate to traffic management, they do not specifically address the handling of encrypted HTTPS traffic in an explicit proxy context. The Transparent HTTP service typically operates without user intervention, while the Firewall service focuses more on access control rather than the intricate handling of HTTPS traffic.
