Explanation

In explicit proxy mode, clients are configured to be aware of the proxy and intentionally send their web requests to it. This is done by configuring the proxy settings directly in the user's browser (or OS network settings), pointing to the WSA's IP address and port. Unlike transparent proxy, explicit proxy does not require WCCP redirection from a router/firewall or Policy-Based Routing (PBR) from a switch - those mechanisms are used for transparent proxy deployments where clients are unaware of the proxy.
