Step 1 - Selecting an event

When you want to define a policy in WinGate, the first task is to create a new policy from the Policy panel and choose what type of event will trigger the policy.

1. Create the policy

   1. Open the WinGate Management console.
   2. Navigate to Control Panel > Policy.
   3. Under the Tasks menu select New policy, or alternatively right click anywhere on the Policy panel, and select New policy from the menu. This will open the Policy Event dialog.

      

      Close

2. Select an event

   1. In the Name field of the Policy Event dialog, enter a suitable name for the policy.
   2. In the Source Type pane, select the WinGate component or service where the event will occur. Selecting a Source Type will reveal all the events that the component or service has registered. In this example we will be choosing the Any HTTPProxy as the Source type.
   3. In the Event Type pane, select the registered type of event that the policy will be triggered by. In this example we will be choosing the ProxyRequest event type.
   4. Click OK on the Policy Event dialog to open a policy editor, so you can configure the content of the policy.

In the example above, the WWWProxy:ProxyRequest event will be the event selected to base the policy on. This means that the policy will be actioned whenever a client makes a proxy type request to the WWW Proxy service.
