Summary

  • Clarifies that --proxy only applies to the connection from Cloud Connector to the Private Gateway (<server>). The connection to each <remote-host> is always dialed directly by the host's local network stack, and never passes through --proxy.
  • Documents that outsystemscc is a raw TCP/UDP passthrough: it doesn't rewrite the HTTP Host header or the TLS SNI. Adds guidance to use a relay server as <remote-host> when the real destination needs TLS terminated with a public-CA certificate or expects a different hostname/SNI than the connecting app presents.

Raised from a customer question in Slack, tracked in RDTKF-25112.

--proxy only covers the Cloud Connector to Private Gateway connection;
the connection to each remote-host is always dialed directly. Also
documents that outsystemscc is a raw TCP/UDP passthrough (no Host
header or SNI rewriting) and that a relay server is the supported way
to terminate TLS or present a different hostname to the destination.

Moves the raw-passthrough/relay-server explanation from Usage into
Overview, where it belongs conceptually, and trims it to the new
information it adds over the existing TLS/CA note already in Usage.
Rewrites negated statements as positive ones per MSSG/GDSG guidance.
