Explanation

When configuring an explicit proxy on a firewall, the Loopback interface is typically selected under the Listening interface option. The loopback interface is used because it allows the firewall to listen for proxy traffic independently of any specific physical interface. This is ideal for situations where the proxy should listen for connections from clients, regardless of which interface While interfaces like Ingress (client-side) and Egress (internet-side) may handle the traffic flow, the loopback interface ensures that the proxy can handle requests from any source without being tied to a specific physical interface.
