 # Customer intent: As a network administrator, I want to configure an explicit proxy on Azure Firewall, so that I can manage outbound traffic efficiently without using a user-defined route.

-Azure Firewall operates in a transparent proxy mode by default. In this mode, traffic is sent to the firewall using a user defined route (UDR) configuration. The firewall intercepts that traffic inline and passes it to the destination.
+Azure Firewall operates in a transparent proxy mode by default. In this mode, you use a user-defined route (UDR) configuration to send traffic to the firewall. The firewall intercepts that traffic inline and passes it to the destination.
 
-With Explicit proxy set on the outbound path, you can configure a proxy setting on the sending application (such as a web browser) with Azure Firewall configured as the proxy. As a result, traffic from the sending application goes to the firewall's private IP address and therefore egresses directly from the firewall without the using  a UDR.

-With the Explicit proxy mode (supported for HTTP/S), you can define proxy settings in the browser to point to the firewall private IP address. You can manually configure the IP address on the browser or application, or you can configure a proxy auto config (PAC) file. The firewall can host the PAC file to serve the proxy requests after you upload it to the firewall.

 ## Governance and compliance
 
-To ensure consistent configuration of explicit proxy settings across your Azure Firewall deployments, you can use Azure Policy definitions. The following policies are available to govern explicit proxy configurations:
+To ensure consistent configuration of explicit proxy settings across your Azure Firewall deployments, use Azure Policy definitions. The following policies are available to govern explicit proxy configurations:
 
 - **Enforce Explicit Proxy Configuration for Firewall Policies**: Ensures that all Azure Firewall policies have explicit proxy configuration enabled.
 - **Enable PAC file configuration while using Explicit Proxy**: Audits that when explicit proxy is enabled, the PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) file is also properly configured.
