Deployment Scenarios

DPI-SSL has two main deployment scenarios:

• Client DPI-SSL: Used to inspect HTTPS traffic when clients on the appliance’s LAN access content located on the WAN. Exclusions to DPI-SSL can be made on a common-name or category basis.
• Server DPI-SSL: Used to inspect HTTPS traffic when remote clients connect over the WAN to access content located on the appliance’s LAN.
