[b]"How Do Proxy and Firewall Work Together to Secure My Network?"[/b] or [b]"What’s the Best Way to Configure Pro

OP here—wow, thanks for all the insights! Didn’t realize how much config matters.

Quick follow-up: How often do you guys update firewall/proxy settings? Monthly? Or only when issues pop up?
