i5/OS and OS/400 proxy server

When you enable a proxy server, all the data flows through one configured port instead of multiple ports. Using one port reduces the security risk when transferring files through a firewall.

Enable Proxy Server Service
Click Yes to use a proxy server. If No is selected, the Host On-Demand service manager does not start the proxy server service; port 3470 is not opened.
OS/400 Proxy Server Port
The port to be used by the i5/OS and OS/400 Proxy Server. The default port is 3470.
Maximum Connections
The maximum number of connections to be supported by the i5/OS and OS/400 Proxy Server. If left blank, the number of connections is unlimited.
