Proxy Bypass

Definitions

A way of reaching destinations without passing through the intended proxy, filtering, or inspection path. Proxy bypass is a common security concern because it can let malware, exfiltration traffic, or unauthorized browsing avoid the controls the organization depends on.
In plain English: A way to avoid the proxy or inspection system that traffic was supposed to go through.
Example: "The browser extension created a proxy bypass path that sent requests directly to the internet instead of through the monitored gateway."
