The HTTP/HTTPS connection type creates a web proxy to a remote web server on the host network. This allows users to access web interfaces (e.g. device configuration pages, web-based HMIs, internal web applications) running on the remote network through the Weble Cloud, without needing direct VPN access.

When a user opens an HTTP connection from their dashboard, the Weble Cloud acts as a reverse proxy:
This allows secure access to internal web services without exposing them directly to the internet.
