In networking, "bypass" refers to the process of routing data traffic around a specific device, component, or security control, such as a firewall or proxy, instead of passing through it. This can be done intentionally for troubleshooting or maintenance, or maliciously to evade security measures. Bypassing can compromise network security by exposing systems to unfiltered or unauthorized access.
