Proxy Gateway

GoAnywhere Gateway is an enhanced reverse and forward proxy that gives organizations an additional layer of security for exchanging data with trading partners. With Gateway, file sharing services can be kept safely inside your private network, without exposing sensitive data to your DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), and connections can be made to external systems on behalf of users in the private network.

What is a proxy gateway and how does it work?

Why GoAnywhere Gateway?

Alongside GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer, Gateway provides IT teams with many benefits:

Secure inbound ports to your network

Your file servers (e.g., FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS, and AS2) can be kept securely in your internal network. This allows you to keep inbound ports to your network closed, which is essential for complying with data security standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITECH, SOX, ISO 27000, and the GLBA.

Keep critical data out of the DMZ

Files can be safely shared with trading partners, users, clients, and vendors while avoiding having critical documents or files stored, even temporarily, in your DMZ.

Connect with external systems securely

As a forward proxy, Gateway can make connections to external systems on behalf of users and applications in the private network. This allows you to more easily manage file transfers from your firewall. Additionally, the identities and locations of your internal systems are hidden for better security.

Run on any environment or operating system

GoAnywhere Gateway is a platform agnostic, software-only solution. Install it on Windows, Linux, AIX, UNIX, or other operating systems to enhance file security in whatever environment works best for you.
