Can LTM act as Forward Proxy?
Absolutely...e.g.

- Telnet_178675Apr 01, 2016NimbostratusSo Forward Proxy can work with LTM ? no extra APM or SWG LIC is needed ?
- DavisLiMar 16, 2018Employee
Yes. Forward SSL license is needed. No APM means you cannot identify users while SWG is meant for URL filtering and for malware scanning of certain web pages user tries to reach..
In this case, you still need to route internet traffic to a malware scanner of sorts..
