Is BusinessProxy a VPN?
No. BusinessProxy manages browser proxy settings through the BusinessProxy browser extension. It does not route your whole operating system. Calls, local apps, personal browsing, banking, and non-browser traffic stay outside the proxy path. It is not an anonymity, unblock, scraping, or evasion tool.
What do users install?
Users install the BusinessProxy browser extension for a supported desktop browser. There is no device VPN and no OS-level agent. Use the store listing when available for your browser and account; otherwise we provide the extension package during onboarding.
Do users enter proxy credentials?
No. Users sign in with account email and password. The backend issues separate, random, short-lived proxy credentials for each session. The account password is never reused as the proxy credential.
Do you inspect HTTPS content?
On the browser-proxy path, no. There is no TLS interception and HTTPS page content is not decrypted. Filtering uses domains, network metadata, configured allow/deny rules, and a versioned category list. The alias/private-app path is different; see the next answer.
What does BusinessProxy see when an internal app is opened?
The alias path is a Layer-7 reverse proxy. It terminates the external request at the BusinessProxy gateway and relays the full request and response to your connector: method, path, headers, and request/response bodies pass through in transit. We process metadata for routing, policy, and audit; request and response bodies are not logged or retained.
Is Private App Access available?
Private App Access is available with guided onboarding. Email support@business-proxy.com to discuss access for your target internal app. It is not an instant self-service product.
Can an admin revoke access immediately?
Admins can revoke active sessions from the account. Proxy credentials are short-lived by default, so access also expires naturally when credentials are not refreshed.
What do you log?
BusinessProxy records operational and audit events needed to run the service: account, workspace, session, device, policy, usage, and admin-event metadata. On the browser path, HTTPS page content is not decrypted. See the log-retention page for retention periods.
How do I pay and renew?
Current self-service paid plans are activated through YooKassa for the selected paid period. They do not auto-renew unless checkout expressly shows a different billing model; renewal is manual from your account.
Which browsers are supported?
The managed path is browser-extension based. BusinessProxy provides desktop builds for Chrome/Chromium, Firefox, Opera and Edge-compatible environments. Safari, mobile browsers and OS-wide routing are not supported.
Can users bypass it on unmanaged devices?
BusinessProxy controls the browser path it manages. On unmanaged devices, users can still use other browsers or unmanaged profiles outside the product boundary. Enforced deployments require customer-managed browser or device policy validation before rollout.
