address) field.
Step 3 Type the proxy IP port in the Proxy Web Server Port field.
Step 4 To bypass the Proxy Servers if a failure occurs, select the Bypass Proxy Servers Upon Proxy
Server Failure check box.

Bypass Proxy Servers Upon Proxy Failure
If a Web proxy server is specified on the Firewall > Web Proxy page, selecting the Bypass
Proxy Servers Upon Proxy Server Failure check box allows clients behind the SonicWALL
security appliance to bypass the Web proxy server in the event it becomes unavailable. Instead,
the client’s browser accesses the Internet directly as if a Web proxy server is not specified.
