FAQs
Is PromoProxy really completely free?
Yes, the Free plan is entirely free.
Most core features—including HTTPS inspection, antivirus scanning, and the web console—are available at no cost.
*Some limitations apply, such as user count and data volume.
What is a Cloud SWG?
A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) secures web access by acting as an intermediary between users and the internet.
A Cloud SWG delivers these capabilities from the cloud, eliminating the need for dedicated appliances or on-premises infrastructure.
With PromoProxy, you get HTTPS visibility, antivirus scanning, filtering, and log auditing in one cloud-based solution, protecting organizations and schools with just simple setup steps.
How is it different from a regular proxy?
A regular proxy simply relays web traffic and may provide caching or access control.
An SWG (Secure Web Gateway), however, adds advanced security features.
For example, HTTPS decryption and inspection, malware detection, category-based filtering, and log collection for auditing.
PromoProxy delivers these capabilities from the cloud, without requiring servers or appliances—this is the key difference.
How is it different from a VPN?
A VPN securely connects users or sites to a corporate network by encrypting the communication path.
However, a VPN itself does not inspect web traffic or block harmful sites.
An SWG (Secure Web Gateway) intermediates access to the internet directly,
providing antivirus scanning, filtering, and log auditing for secure web usage.
Which browsers are supported?
Supported browsers include Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
Is it easy to set up?
Yes, setup takes just a few clicks. Simply configure the PAC file and install the certificate provided during registration.
