Managing Repeaters

The Bright Repeater is a scan proxy which provides a secure connection between the Bright cloud engine and a target on a local network. The Repeater mode enables you to securely scan targets on a local network, without having to allowlist the Bright IP address in your firewall for incoming traffic. See Repeater (Scan Proxy) for more information.
