Changing proxy settings

I am on a public wifi network and when I try and log into certain websites it tells me that it's not trusted.  How can i change the proxy settings so I can allow those webpages?

The button takes you through to a tab in your Internet Options control panel, manu. So let's try getting into that via your Windows control panel.
Go "Start > Control Panel". If you're in Category view, switch to Classic view.
Open your "Internet Options" control panel. Click the "Connections" tab. Now you're where you would be if the "Change settings" button in the safari preferences was working for you.

  • Changing proxy settings on mediasou

    afi'verspeace,
    This is down to the way your internet connection is set up, it would be best to speak to your network administrator or the person that set up the connection to see if a proxy is set up.
    In short, a proxy ties into your network connection. You might have heard of "firewalls" before, a proxy works together with that, to connect you to a website or server safely.
    In Internet Explorer, go to Tools> Internet Options> Connections> LAN settings. The proxy may be set there, if it is, you can just write the same details in the MediaSource proxy option/field.

  • Allow restricted user to change Proxy Settings

    I have an OS X 10.4.11 MacBook Pro that has 2 accounts. One local administrator account and one restricted Network mobile account authenticating against an LDAP domain. All users are required to go through a proxy to get out to the internet. The proxy is not accessible outside our network. This means the proxy settings have to be change when the user takes his laptop out of the office. However since the user has a restricted account he does not have permission to change the proxy information.
    Is there away I can allow this user to change the proxy settings or even change a Network Location with out giving him administrator privileges.?

  • Update hosts file and Change proxy settings for all users on Mac

    I am in a large environment with many Mac users. We have a Windows based proxy server that we are switching over within a few weeks. So far we are manually having to go to each Mac and change the proxy settings under the users account. This is a very long and painstaking process as users are on vacation etc. and our cutoff date is fast approaching for the old proxy.
    we also are having to log into each workstation as administrator go into the terminal and so sudo passwd root then change the password then do sudo vi /etc/hosts to edit the hosts file.
    Is there a way to change the proxy server setting for safari and firefox globally without having to log in as each user on the Mac ?
    Or is there an automated way through a script that the users can run ?
    These macs authenticate to active directory. They do not have a mac server but I was told to post this question here versus the desktop area.

    Most browsers include an [automatic proxy configuration (PAC) mechanism|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config] and the transparent configuration of proxies, and Safari and Firefox are no different here.
    The usual approach here is to have folks visit a site and select the PAC file, or to push the file out. Here is a comfiguration example from [UConn|http://helpdesk.uconn.edu/trouble/proxy/autoprox.html], and another from [Rice|http://proxy.rice.edu/setup.php], and there are others around and visible via Google.
    The [pactester|http://code.google.com/p/pactester> tool might be useful, too.
    If y'all get some DNS entries set up (various web browsers have [Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD)|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebProxy_AutodiscoveryProtocol], when last I checked [Safari needed a little help|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090711031033128]) and have your firewall raise an appropriate diagnostic page, you won't have to go through this again, either.
    None of this stuff is particularly specific to Mac OS X or to Safari; the PAC stuff is fairly generic, and WPAD is used with various boxes. (Try Safari with WPAD, but you might still need to reference that PAC file. And if you do, using WPAD-compliant naming would probably be a reasonable approach.)
    The hosts files? You're really still using those? Any chance you can get real DNS working? That's a whole lot less work, and now is the time to deploy that; if you're going to mess with everything, then you can use that effort and that requirement to (also) move forward in your networking capabilities.

  • Remove/Change Proxy Settings Without Logging In

    Is there a way to change the proxy settings without logging in?
    Our proxy server went down and Spiceworks will not allow pro users to log in because of it.  I can't change the settings because I can't login.  Does anyone know of a way to change the settings another way?
    We can't login on the server or via workstations.  This only affects pro users.
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    HI Norm,
    Open System Preferences/Network. Select Airport in the panel in the left then click the Advanced tab then click the Proxies tab. Where you see: Select a protocol to configure Make sure there are NO boxes checked.
    Click the Airport tab in that same window. Make sure your network is listed under: Preferred Networks
    If not, cick + Type in your network name or click Show Networks and select it from there. Your network should be listed in the Preferred Networks window now. Just below that window select the box next to: Remember networks this computer has joined.
    If you still have problems, open Airport Utility (Applications/Utilities)
    Select your device on the left then click Continue. In the next window click: I want to restore this AirPort device to its factory settings and then set it up again; then click Continue.
    I'm on Comcast without using any Proxies.
    You can disconnect the Comcast cable modem from it's power source for about 5 minutes then reconnect. Sometimes you have to recycle the modem.
    AirPort troubleshooting guide
    Also, on the G5. Go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration and move these files to the Trash.
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.apple.nat.plist
    com.apple.network.identification.plist
    You may only see the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file in that list since it's running 10.5.x
    Don't worry about the other .plist files if they are not available.

  • Is it possible to change proxy settings for all profiles that´s created instead of the standard options. We need to change "use systems proxy" into "automatic"

    Proxy Problems
    We need to be able to change the default settings for the proxy for all profiles on our computers that´s created for new users.
    Standard is that firefox takes the option "use the system options" for the proxy. We would like it to use the option "automatic" instead like IE and Chrome does.
    Considering that we have over 500 computers doing this manually isn´t an option, because a new profile is created everytime someone logs on to a computer they haven´t used before.

    You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new default values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaultspref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
    This will work for all existing and newly created profiles.

  • How to restrict non root users from changing proxy settings Ubuntu 12.04?

    I have two Ubuntu 12.04 Desktops with Ncomputing vSpace software configured for remote terminal users of Ncomputing L300 thin clients. Both these desktops have Squid configured and connected to internet. So in a way users logging in to these machines can directly access internet without squid. Now users can remove the proxy and have unrestricted access anytime. Which is the reason I want to enforce proxy on users settings which they cannot change. I am fine if the settings makes it mandatory for root or sudo user of Ubuntu. Is this possible ?

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
    Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • Proxy settings in OSX 10.4.6 iBook G4

    Hi,
    I recently changed proxy settings to using a pac file (http://wpad.bham.ac.uk)as my university stated that this was the best way to access athens and suchlike.
    However, I keep getting a pop up box telling me to enter my username and password- every time I log on to anything requiring a password, and Itunes refuses to let me open the music store or connect to the internet. I have tried changing the proxy bit back to manual rather than using a pac file but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
    Please help!!

    Hi Mmkay,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I am sorry, but just to make sure; Does the Sudden Motion Sensor not show up in System Profile (Getting Information About Your Computer (System Profiler)). In System Profiler > click on the Hardware tab > Look in the main window and you should seen Sudden Motion Sensor below Serial Number. Does it say State: Enabled? If it doesn't show up, bring it to your local Apple Store. I don't think that reinstalling the system software will make a difference.

  • I use the proxy settings add-on in Firefox to access my company server. However, I updated Firefox this morning to the latest version. Now this add-on doesn'tl.

    I used the proxy settings add-on to access the company server and wi-fi with my Android 2.36 phone.
    This morning I updated Firefox. The add-on doesn't work anymore. I uninstalled it and went to the add on website to reinstall what I thought must be a new version. This add-on doesn't seem to exist anymore.
    How do I change proxy settings with the new version of Firefox for Android?

    The author of the add-on will need to update their version to be compliant with our newly rewritten Firefox for Android product.
    The new version of Firefox does not provide a user-interface for manipulating proxy settings.
    On the other hand, you can manipulate these settings yourself at your own discretion by visiting the URL about:config and searching for network.proxy

  • How do i change my network proxy settings on iTunes?

    Hi,
    I've been using a certain proxy to connect to the iTunes store on my PC iTunes.
    Now, the proxy details have changed, i already update the new details on the Internet Options (Windows Control Panel) and now i'm trying to update the proxy settings on iTunes. But it not prompting for a new one like before, and i think it because i selected remember passwword previously.
    How do i reset these settings so i can enter the new proxy settings. iTunes keeps on telling me to check my network connection.
    Thanks in advance.

    Authorization
    iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    Deauthorization
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • Why or how could firefox change my proxy settings without me doing anything right in the middle of browsing the internet?

    == Issue
    ==
    I have another kind of problem with Firefox
    == Description
    ==
    While I was browsing the internet suddenly nothing would happen when I clicked a link. Upon closing and opening firefox and trying to load a web page it said "the proxy server is refusing connection. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections."
    I did manage to fix the problem by changing the proxy settings from manual to auto-detect but what disturbs me is how those settings could be changed without me doing so right in the middle of using the internet. I dont know if its a bug or a security issue but I thought I would let you guys know.
