Configuration guidelines

This section provides tips on configuring the Gateway proxy.

Enabling access to Google services

Google Chrome uses the QUIC protocol to connect to all Google-related services. Since Gateway does not currently support inspection of QUIC traffic, you will need to disable QUIC within Google Chrome.

To manually disable QUIC in the Google Chrome browser:

  1. In the address bar, type: chrome://flags#enable-quic.
  2. Set the Experimental QUIC protocol flag to Disabled.
  3. Relaunch Chrome for the setting to take effect.

The following Windows registry key (or Mac/Linux preference) can be used to disable QUIC in Chrome, and can be enforced via GPO or equivalent:

  • Data type: Boolean [Windows:REG_DWORD]
  • Windows registry location for Windows clients: Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\QuicAllowed
  • Windows registry location for Google Chrome OS clients: Software\Policies\Google\ChromeOS\QuicAllowed
  • Mac/Linux preference name: QuicAllowed
  • Description: If this policy is set to true (or not set), usage of QUIC is allowed. If the policy is set to false, usage of QUIC is not allowed.
  • Recommended value: Windows: 0x00000000, Linux: false, Mac: <false />

Enabling mTLS authentication

Applications which enforce mutual TLS are incompatible with TLS decryption. To allow mTLS requests through Gateway, add a Do Not Inspect HTTP policy for the mTLS-protected domain.
