Deep Discovery Web Inspector integrates into your existing network topology by acting as either a transparent bridge or a forward proxy.

In forward proxy mode, Deep Discovery Web Inspector is configured as a proxy server for network clients. Clients have to configure the web proxy to redirect web traffic to Deep Discovery Web Inspector.

In transparent bridge mode, Deep Discovery Web Inspector acts as a layer 2 bridge between network devices (switches, routers, or firewalls) and is transparent in the network.
