Tips

  • Use a proxy server for your LAN means that you intend to enter your own proxy settings into the edit boxes below.
  • If you have Websense or an administration lock on your computer this may not work.
  • if it doesn't work after that go back and see what you did wrong
    • The Tick Boxes explained:
  • Bypass proxy server for local address means that any material that you wish to access on your LOCAL network should NOT go out to the proxy server (because the proxy server sits between two different networks and the data you need is not on the network on the other side of that proxy server).
