Default Re: Restricting ports for web-based traffic outbound

If you restrict, is the restriction imposed on the firewall, on the proxy itself, or both? If you restrict on the firewall, do non-allowed ports get dropped (eg, in the cleanup rule) or rejected?

Any experience, advice, comments are welcomed/appreciated. Thanks.
Yes. Yes. Firewall/Both. Yes.
