   Proxy Type	Description
   Reverse proxy	If configured as a reverse proxy, the eperi sEcure Platform acts as an intermediary between any clients and your SaaS application. It gets data for a client from your SaaS application, decrypts it, and delivers it to the client. Data from the client is received by the Gateway, encrypted, and then stored in encrypted form in your SaaS application. The true address of your SaaS application remains hidden from the client.
   Forward proxy	If configured as a forward proxy, the eperi sEcure Platform also acts as an intermediary between any clients and your SaaS application. But there are some differences with regard to the configuration of the eperi sEcure Platform and your clients. In contrast to the reverse proxy, clients access the respective SaaS application with the "real" URL.

4. For the standard HTTPS configuration, enter Port 443 and activate TLS Enabled.
   Note: Usually, users connect to eperi sEcure Platform using standard transport protocols and ports (e.g. 443 for HTTPS) and the eperi sEcure Platform connects to the SaaS application with the same protocols and ports.
