Hide Apache version

PythagorPythagor
in Firebox - Proxies

Hi, I have a server on internal with outdated Apache version. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that I can update it without consequences for the server itself. Can I at list use Firebox to hide Apache version from outside world?
thanks

    From the Watchguard make sure you are publishing using Proxy Rule.
    For HTTPS you must ensure that content inspection is enabled.

    Under HTTP Response -> Header Fields, create the headers you want to remove.

    E.g:
    Rule 1:
    Name: Server:*
    Pattern Match: Server:*
    Action: Strip

    Rule 2:
    Name: X-Powered-By:*
    Pattern Match: X-Powered-By:*
    Action: Strip

    This is useful for applications that don't allow you to remove headers natively through the application or web config.
