Hello,

I have installed a CRM instance without HTTPS or proxy option selected.

The instance is installed on a server which is then linked to a DMZ.

The person that installed the DMZ has done it in order to encrypt HTTP requests because my CRM is not configured under the HTTPS protocol.

Do I have to update/reinstall my CRM instance with the HTTPS protocol or proxy?

or

Is it ok for me to leave it the way it is? - if so will the DMZ handle the encryption process?

Just for my own general understanding, is DMZ used for managing inbound/incoming requests from the Ethernet and proxy for outbound/outgoing requests to hide them behind a single IP address?

I read some articles on the forum related to DMZ and they are helpful but I dont think they are specifically related to my scenario.

I am not an expert in networking and thus, I desperately need a little bit of clarification so any comments are very welcome.

Thanks,
