Issues with Outbound Proxies

• Connections from server to the internet
• Rarer than inbound.
  • “Air-gapped” often means “strong outbound proxy.”
• Things that can be impacted:
  • Downloading packages (other than from internal package manager).
  • Accessing external data (APIs).
  • Updating system libraries (hopefully your IT has a plan for this).
  • Software licensing (software might ping a server).
• IT often open to allowing access to specific URLs, so ask!
