Forwarding server

This feature provides a method for identifying the original IP address of a client browser connecting to the FortiIsolator server.

If X-Forward is enabled, the HTTP request header shows the information of the original IP address of the client browser. If X-Forward is disabled, the HTTP request header does not show the information.
