13) Can Edgeview work if the device is behind a proxy server

Yes or and no. EdgeView uses WebSocket (The Websocket Protocol) for bidirectional communication between the client and server. The HTTP protocol needs to be upgraded between the websocket client and server.

But if the proxy server is a 'MiTM' type or 'SSL-Bump' type, the proxy server needs to make a separate HTTPs connection to the DIspatcher and it may not request the 'Upgrade' service towards the Dispatcher, then the EdgeView will break since it can not establish the connection to the Dispatcher.
