BIG-IP Edge Client only can manage proxy configuration after the tunnel is established:

  • Local Proxy Settings disable : After BIG-IP Edge Client establishes the tunnel, it merges the remote and local proxy configuration.
  • Local Proxy Settings enable : After BIG-IP Edge Client establishes the tunnel, local proxy configuration or proxy settings configured on the computer continue to be used.

 

Before the tunnel is established, BIG-IP Edge  client use computer local proxy configuration (DIRECT if you exclude VPN gateway or via PROXY if you don´t exclude VPN gateway in computer the local proxy configuration)
