Administrators who have chosen to proxy each client browser to the Enterprise Web Filter can do so with the basic browser configuration information below. Examples are included for:
Internet Explorer (IE)
Netscape
Firefox
Apple OSX (Safari)
Opera
Important: Once users are configured to proxy to the Enterprise Web Filter, you must block outbound Port 80 (HTTP) and Port 443 (SSL) traffic on your firewall if you wish to guarantee that web traffic is only going to webproxy.mxpath.net on Port 8080, which guarantees filtering. In other words, if a user isn't proxied to webproxy.mxpath.net, their web request will fail, providing a higher level of security.
In Internet Explorer, go to:
Tools → Internet Options → Connections, from there, click on "LAN Settings..."
Check Use a proxy server for your LAN, then click on the Advanced... button
Specify the following:
webproxy.mxpath.net on Port 8080 for HTTP and Secure (i.e., SSL)
Click OK to Save.
In Netscape, go to:
Edit → Preferences → Advanced → Proxies, from there, select “Manual proxy configuration”
Specify the following:
webproxy.mxpath.net on Port 8080 for HTTP Proxy and SSL Proxy
Click OK to save.
In Firefox, go to:
Tools → Options → Advanced → Network, from there click on Settings
Tools → Options → General, from there click on Connection Settings (pre 2.0.0.1)
Select "Manual proxy configuration" and enter the following:
webproxy.mxpath.net on Port 8080 for HTTP Proxy and SSL Proxy, as shown below
Click OK to save.
Note: OSX is different in that proxy settings are affiliated with the system, not a specific browser.
Click the Apple in upper left and pull down to System Preferences, click on Network icon
Make sure Location: is set to Automatic, and Show: is set to Built-In Ethernet, and click Proxies
Select Web Proxy (HTTP), and enter webproxy.mxpath.net and 8080 as shown below.
Select Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS) and enter webproxy.mxpath.net and 8080 again.
Click Apply Now button to save.
In Opera, go to:
Tools → Preferences → "Advanced" Tab → Network → Proxy Servers to arrive at the screen below.
Perform the following:
Select HTTP and enter webproxy.mxpath.net and 8080 (shown below)
Select HTTPS, entering webproxy.mxpath.net and 8080 again
Click Ok button to save.
