5.5 Proxy server

Forward to parent proxy server

Tick this option for WinRoute to forward all queries to the parent proxy server

which will be speciﬁed by the following data:

•Server — DNS name or IP address of parent proxy server and the port on which

the server is running (3128 port is used by the default).

•Parent proxy server requires authentication — enable this option if authentica-

tion by username and password is required by the parent proxy server. Specify

the Username and Password login data.

Note: The name and password for authentication to the parent proxy server is

sent with each HTTP request. Only Basic authentication is supported.

The Forward to parent proxy server option speciﬁes how WinRoute will connect to

the Internet (for update checks, downloads of McAfee updates and for connecting

to the online ISS OrangeWeb Filter databases).

Set automatic proxy conﬁguration script to

If a proxy server is used, Web browsers on client hosts must be conﬁg-

ured correctly. Most common Web browsers (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer,

Firefox/Netscape/Mozilla/SeaMonkey,Opera, etc.) enable automatic conﬁguration

of corresponding parameters by using a script downloaded from a corresponding

Website speciﬁed with URL.

In the case of WinRoute’s proxy server, the conﬁguration script is saved at

http://192.168.1.1:3128/pac/proxy.pac,

where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the WinRoute host and number 3128 rep-

resents the port of the proxy server (see above).

The Allow browsers to use conﬁguration script automatically... option adjusts the

conﬁguration script in accord with the current WinRoute conﬁguration and the set-

tings of the local network:

•Direct access — no proxy server will be used by browsers

•WinRoute proxy server — IP address of the WinRoute host and the port on which

the proxy server is running will be used by the browser (see above).

Note: The conﬁguration script requires that the proxy server is always available

(even if the Direct access option is used).

Allow browsers to use conﬁguration script automatically...

It is possible to let Microsoft Internet Explorer be conﬁgured automatically by the

DHCP server. To set this, enable the Automatically detect settings option.

WinRoute’s DHCP server must be running (see chapter 5.4), otherwise the function

will not work. TCP/IP parameters at the host can be static — Microsoft Internet

Explorer sends a special DHCP query when started.
