TCP proxy server |
A TCP proxy server is an optional, third-party software component that functions as a middle-man for data that passes between the BlackBerry Secure Connect Service and the BlackBerry Infrastructure. The BlackBerry Infrastructure sends data to mobile networks or the Internet. A TCP proxy server is typically used to manage how a company sends data to external sources and receives data from those sources. The TCP proxy server can be deployed in a DMZ if required, and can be transparent or non-transparent. A transparent proxy does not change a request or response. A non-transparent proxy can change a request or response to provide added service. |
