You can create gateway objects to configure the proxy gateway that enables you to forward any traffic to specific destinations via Zscaler Internet & SaaS. A proxy gateway allows you to define a primary proxy and a secondary proxy to which the traffic can be forwarded and define how traffic should be handled when both the proxies are unreachable.

To add an Internet Access gateway:

1. Go to Infrastructure > Common Resources > Gateways > Internet Access.
2. Click Add Internet Access Gateway.
3. Enter the following information in the window:
   • Name: Enter a user-friendly name for the gateway.
   • Fail Close: Choose how to handle the traffic when both primary and secondary proxies defined in this gateway are unreachable.
     • Enable: (Default) Drops the traffic when both proxies are unreachable.
     • Disable: Allows the traffic directly to the server without forwarding it to the proxy service when both proxies are unreachable.
   • Primary: Select the primary proxy for the gateway.
     • Automatic: Forwards traffic through an automatic proxy.
     • Manual: Forwards traffic through the selected data centers.
     • Override: Forwards traffic through the specified IP address or domain name.
   • Secondary: Select the secondary proxy for the gateway. This is used when the primary proxy is unreachable. The secondary proxy switches to the primary proxy upon confirmation of reachability.
     • Automatic: Forwards traffic through an automatic proxy.
     • Manual: Forwards traffic through the selected data centers.
     • Override: Forwards traffic through the specified IP address or domain name.

   • Description: (Optional) Enter additional notes or information. The description cannot exceed 10,240 characters.
