Proxy Web Servers and Authentication > Local PC Setup

Manual Configuration

• Nearly all browsers include a proxy client function
• From the earlier example, we saw that each web browser has a specific place where you can enter Proxy settings
  • Netscape 4.x/6.x/7.x and Mozilla: "Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Advanced" -> "Proxies"
  • Microsoft IE 5.x/6.x (Windows only): "Tools" -> "Internet Options" -> "Connections" -> "LAN Settings" -> "Use a Proxy Server"
  • Lynx users may specify a proxy in an environment variable or configuration file
