<p>You can restrict the access to this proxy using a two-stage security barrier:
<ul>
<li>define an <i>access domain</i> with a list of granted client IP-numbers or with wildcards</li>
<li>define an <i>user account</i> with an user:password - pair</li>
</ul><br>
<p>This is the account that restricts access to the proxy function. You probably don't want to share the proxy to the internet, so you should set the IP-Number Access Domain to a pattern that corresponds to you local intranet. The default setting should be right in most cases. If you want, you can also set a proxy account so that every proxy user must authenticate first, but this is rather unusual.</p>

<p>Here you can restrict access to the server. By default, the access is not limited, because this function is needed to spawn the p2p index-sharing function. If you block access to your server (setting anything else than '*'), then you will also be blocked from using other peers' indexes for search service. However, blocking access may be correct in enterprise environments where you only want to index your company's own web pages.</p>
