Getting Started With Desktop Web Proxy
Follow these steps to ensure that you're ready to deploy and use Desktop Web Proxy (DWP).
To get started with DWP:
- Configure the corporate gateway to allow egress to wss.webroot.com on port 80, 8080, or 443, and ensure this matches the Proxy Address & Proxy Port configured at Accounts > DWP Configuration.
- This includes firewalls, caching proxies, or anything else that intercepts or blocks traffic.
- If all traffic is forced through a caching proxy, an ADM/GPO must configure the endpoint directly.
- For additional instructions, see the Desktop Web Proxy Configuration User Guide.
- Confirm that your internet-facing, external (gateway) IP addresses are present in the management portal option Accounts > Account > IP Range. If any IPs are missing, contact your service supplier or customer support.
- Test the connection using telnet wss.webroot.com 80. A blank screen should replace the typed content. Press Ctrl-Z to close the connection, which once again displays the command prompt.
- Once all of the above have been successfully completed, continue to Deploying and Using Desktop Web Proxy.
