In this dialog box in Internet Explorer® Maintenance (IEM), you can specify which proxy servers your users connect to for various services. In certain cases you may not want to use a proxy server, for example, for addresses on your corporate intranet. This dialog box enables you to note these exceptions.
You must be a member of the Administrators group to work with IEM and Group Policy objects (GPOs).

To configure proxy settings using IEM |
-
In IEM, expand Internet Explorer Maintenance.
-
In the left pane, click Connection, and then in the right pane, double-click Proxy Settings.
-
Select the Enable proxy settings check box to use proxy servers for any of the listed services. Then, do the following:
- Under Address of proxy, type the
address of the proxy server for a service. In most cases, a single
proxy is used for all addresses. The proxy locations that do not
begin with a protocol (such as http:// or ftp://) are assumed to be
a CERN-type HTTP proxy. For example, the entry proxy would
be treated the same as the entry http://proxy. For File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) gateways, type the protocol ftp://
in front of the proxy name. For example, you would enter an FTP
gateway ftpproxy as ftp://ftpproxy.
- Under Port, type the port number for
each service. The default setting is Port 80.
- Select the Use the same proxy server for
all addresses check box to use the same proxy server settings
for all the listed services.
- Under Address of proxy, type the
address of the proxy server for a service. In most cases, a single
proxy is used for all addresses. The proxy locations that do not
begin with a protocol (such as http:// or ftp://) are assumed to be
a CERN-type HTTP proxy. For example, the entry proxy would
be treated the same as the entry http://proxy. For File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) gateways, type the protocol ftp://
in front of the proxy name. For example, you would enter an FTP
gateway ftpproxy as ftp://ftpproxy.
-
In Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with, enter specific addresses for which you do not want to use a proxy server. A proxy bypass entry can begin with a protocol type, such as http://, https://, ftp://, or gopher://. If a protocol type is used, the exception entry applies only to requests for that protocol. The protocol value is not case sensitive and this field allows a wildcard character (*) to be used in the place of zero or more characters. Use a semicolon to separate entries. For this version of IEM, this list is limited to 2064 characters.
Note The gopher:// protocol type is not available for Internet Explorer 8.
-
Select the Do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses check box to bypass proxy servers for all addresses on your intranet.
