Use

The F5® LineRate® forward proxy capability provides a proxy function from one network to another. A common use case for a forward proxy is for connections from your private network to the Internet.

A forward proxy lets you insert custom logic created with scripts. Scripts can perform a variety of functions, including gathering usage statistics, redirecting requests to your own cache, blocking of access to specific sites, managing cookies, and much more.

To use a forward proxy effectively, be sure to create and attach a virtual IP that includes the range of Internet IP addresses you want to go through the forward proxy.

Caution: When attaching a virtual IP to a forward proxy, the virtual IP must not include any of the system’s own IP addresses. For a virtual IP with a single IP address, do not set the virtual IP’s IP address to one of the system’s own IP addresses. For a virtual IP with a range of addresses, you must ensure that the IP address range does not contain any of the system’s own IP addresses. This may mean you need to break the virtual IP into multiple virtual IPs. See [Configuring a range for a virtual IP with forward proxy](htt ps://docs.lineratesystems.com/093Release_2.5/300kb/Configuring_a_range_for_a_v irtual_IP_with_forward_proxy) for more detail and an example.
