The communication between {ProjectServer} and hosts registered to a {SmartProxyServer} is routed through that {SmartProxyServer}.
55
{SmartProxyServer} also provides {Project} services to hosts.

Integrated {SmartProxy}::
8-
Integrated {SmartProxy} is the {SmartProxy} contained in a {ProjectServer}.
9-
A host that is directly connected to a {ProjectServer} is considered a client of its integrated {SmartProxy}.
10-
This includes the base operating system where the server is running.
11-
These clients need direct network access to {ProjectServer}.
12-
13-
External {SmartProxies}::
14-
External {SmartProxies} are {SmartProxies} not integrated with the {ProjectServer}.
15-
Hosts that are clients of external {SmartProxies} do not need direct access to the {ProjectServer} itself.
16-
17-
Many of the services that {SmartProxyServer} manages use dedicated network ports.
18-
However, {SmartProxyServer} ensures that all communications from the host to {ProjectServer} use a single source IP address, which simplifies firewall administration.

{SmartProxy} provides a single endpoint for all host network communications so that in remote network segments, only firewall ports to the {SmartProxy} itself must be open.

hosts connect to {ProjectServer} rather than a {SmartProxy}.

This applies also to {SmartProxies} themselves because the {SmartProxyServer} is a host of {ProjectServer}.
