What is an SSL Proxy?

SSL is an international standard encryption and Identity Authentication communication protocol. Your browser supports this protocol. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) was initially developed by Netscape, and later became the standard for Secure communication and transaction on the Internet.

The SSL protocol uses client certificates and CA root certificates from both parties to allow client/server applications to communicate in a way that cannot be eavesdropped, A secure and trusted communication channel is established between both parties. It has the following basic features: Information Confidentiality, information integrity, and mutual authentication. It is mainly used to improve the data security factor between applications. The entire concept of SSL protocol can be summarized as: a protocol that ensures the security of transactions between clients and servers installed with secure sockets. It involves all TC/IP applications.

SSL Proxy: supports up to 128-bit http proxy for encrypted websites. An encrypted website is a website starting with https. The standard ssl port is 443.

By default, IIS uses port 443 as the SSL port. However, you can also use any port as needed. You can have many sites. Each site has a non-SSL port number and an SSL port number. For example, you can have a site called ExampleSite, which can use 90 as a non-SSL port and 445 as an SSL port. The user enters the http://www.ExampleSite.com to access a non-SSL version. To access its SSL version, enter the https://www.ExampleSite.com. They can also use IP: Port count, such as https://www.Example.com: 445.

"S" in https: // is very important because it tells the user's browser to use the SSL port. If you use http://www.Example.com: 445, nothing happens, the browser just waits, but nothing is displayed. If you use https for a non-SSL port, such as https://www.ExampleSite.com: 90, the same would happen.
