WCCP mode

WCCP mode

WCCP (Web Cache Communication Protocol) mode offers a non-disruptive, transparent security solution for web application protection. It does not require changes to the IP address scheme of the network. Requests are destined for a web server and not the FortiWeb appliance. This operation mode supports the same feature set as True Transparent Proxy mode. However, like Reverse Proxy mode, web servers see the FortiWeb network interface IP address and not the IP address of the client.
