An advancement over previous techniques uses push notifications to provide users with proxied communications to outside devices reachable using a security appliance or network gateway. Encrypted direct communication between a user device with the outside device is blocked and the user device is provided with a proxy URL at which indirect proxied communications can be provided. A proxy at the proxy URL can read the communications between the user device and the outside device. The proxy can thereby apply security policies to the indirect proxied communications. The security appliance can provide the proxy URL to the user device via a push server.
