Proxy settings disabled

I have to connect to the internet through a proxy, but when I open the Advanced tab in settings, changing the proxy settings is disabled. I am running Safari 3.0.1

If you read the Safari for Windows download site, several features are clearly listed as coming soon. These are:
"Support for International users
International text input methods
Advanced text (contextual forms, international scripts)
Localized menus and help
NTLM support
PAC file auto-detection
FTP directory listings
Link to proxy settings from Safari (Safari respects the proxy settings in the Windows Internet control panel)
Cookie management
LiveConnect support
Tooltips
Spell checking
Printing page numbers, titles, margins"
You will notice that proxy setting support is one of these features.

How to disable proxy settings from ipad

hi i am using airtel india sim for acessing internet from ipad mini. but my memberships in some accounts has been suspended saying that due to proxy use. but i did not use any proxy settings n i m using internet via airtel internet. in this regard, i wnt to remove the proxy settings from my device. can any one help me on advising where to find the proxy settings and how to disable them? plz...............

Proxy settings on the iPad relate only to WiFi (Settings > WiFi). It's possible your mobile operator is using a Proxy. You should talk to them to see if that's the case.

Disabling join proxy settings

Hi all: How do I disable the join proxy settings for the ZCM clients? All my clients have this enabled somehow - I did not do it - and it is annoying to have to go in the turn this off whenever I have to work on a remote machine.
Thanks, Chris.

I see the error. Thanks. And If I ever want to use the join proxy, I assume I have to edit the network location to include that server??

well someone did... check the location, does it have a Join Proxy set?

Proxy Settings Re-Appear after Reboot in Registry Post Malware Clean (Windows 8.1 x64)

Hey Guys -
My main system at home hosts many different things for me. Because I'm an idiot and had protection disabled, I caught some malware which I cleaned off soon
afterwards. The malware was listed as Trojan.Generic.KD or something similar. It had enabled Proxy and set it to 127.0.0.1:58054. I ran Malwarebytes, Spybot, then ExecuteIt to clean the malware off and currently the scans from all 3 apps
come back clean. I also had to manually disable proxy via IE settings.
I have one specific app which for whatever reason will use Proxy settings if they are there over anything else and doesn't offer and configuration to disable it.
Even though proxy is disabled (and cleared) in IE, this app still doesn't work and I still seemingly get redirected to ads in Chrome sometimes. The log file of the app showed it was trying to connect through 127.0.0.1:58054. The thing is,
IE Settings still show Proxy disabled!
The Issue
I checked many things are read a few articles to try to fix this including different Windows 8.1 settings, local Group Policy, startup items, checking Run keys
in HKLM and HKCU for "out of place" entries, and more. Finally, I opened the registry and did s keyword search for ":58054" and found one key with it. I cleared out all of the data and set the EnableProxy string from "1"
to "0", rebooted, and tried again but the app still failed with the same log message. I went back into the registry and found out that the strings I changed had all been changed back! Below is the key / strings I'm talking about which
are located in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings. It's odd because I usually deal with HKLM and HKCU and don't think I've ever worked in ".DEFAULT" on any system ever before.
I know that a full OS re-install is suggested - and I actually do it every 3-4 months religiously - but - I currently don't have the time for the full day it
takes to perform due to how many things it hosts.
Any ideas on how I can get this to stop coming back after each restart until I can perform the re-install? Below are the system specs. Thanks!
System Specs
- Intel i7-3770k / 16gb RAM
- x3 partitions 256gb SSD for OS & Apps / 24tb Disk Pool for Storage / 500gb Hybrid drive for App installs
- Windows 8.1 Update 1 x64 (Fully Patched)
Thanks again!

Hi,
.default is the profile for the Local System account and is an alias for
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18, Consequently, settings in HKEY_USERS\.Default are used by programs and services that run as Local System.
In addition to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings, please also check HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings and HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings, make sure all proxy server disabled, then press F5 to refresh registry, check the application, if the issue disappears, the the registry entry is the culprit. Then please reboot the PC, if the issue appears again, the virus is not cleared in your
system. In this case, please try other virus clean program if possible, meanwhile, check if there're unknown software installed in your system.

Locking proxy settings in Firefox 6? doesn't seem to work the same as 5?

Trying to lock down the proxy settings so users can't disable the proxy. Did this in 5 by editing the firefox.js file in omni.jar then creating a mozzila.cfg file, but same technique doesn't appear to work in 6.
Any ideas what's different?

This does not seem to apply to Firefox 6. I cant locate a place to configure all user settings like there was in the previous versions of Firefox. My Scenario is-
Terminal Server on 2008 R2 and trying to configure all user settings that will apply to all users launching Firefox from the TS.
All documentation and references I have found after an exhaustive search all reference FF 4 and before. Any thoughts?

Can' able to change my proxy settings in Internet Options

Few days ago my LAN proxy settings in Internet Options>Connection tab changed and I can't able to revert the changes. It set to
HTTP: 127.0.0.1:8080
Secure: 127.0.0.1:8080
A message at the bottom displays "Some settings are managed by your system administrator". I am the only user of my PC.
I am using windows 8.1 having Internet explorer 11. I had tried all the methods to make it work correctly but not succeeded, please help me to solve this problem I can't able to connect any of the tiles apps and my internet speed also slows down. I checked
out for any miscellaneous program that may got installed on my PC but didn't find any one, all are from trusted vendors.

Hello rngvivek,
Do you mean that the proxy setting in the Internet Option is automatically changed and then when you try to revert the setting, the error message ‘Some settings are managed by your system administrator’ shows up?
Please explain a bit about the following question for better analyzation:
1. Have you made any change before this issue?
2. Is this computer domain-joined?
3. Can you still visit the website and use other app to connect to the Internet?
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Check if we can disable the proxy setting in the Internet Option
2. Refer to the following KB to reset Internet Explorer.

VPN Proxy Settings With Third Party Software

Im just wondering if this is possible. When I go to university I've setup a VPN connection and inside of that I've put proxy settings for the available protocols. HTTP, socks, etc.
Well all software built into os x (itunes, safari) use these proxy settings automatically when connected to the VPN. So when I go to uni I click one button to connect and that's it.
What Im wondering: Is it possible for third party software (Firefox, IRC clients) to grab these proxy settings from the VPN? At the moment I'm having to manually add the proxies to these apps every time I go to uni, then disable them when I go home.

Many users have found Authoxy to be the solution for most proxy issues.

Accessing Proxy Settings

Hi,
I am trying to access user's proxy settings in my signed JApplet, but can't find any information about that in documentation. Can someone point me somewhere? I need them because I use Sockets in my program.
Thank you,
Dmitri

Detecting proxy settings that the plug-in is using is tricky stuff... Sun added some (not well documented) support for proxy detection... Try searching the jdc bug db for detect proxy, etc.
The extra jar that needs to be in your classpath during compile (if compiling under 1.3.1) is jre 1.4.1's rt.jar. BTW, we also include javaws.jar because our same JAppplet JARs run under Java Web Start.
I've clobbered together a method (that could use some cleaning:) that takes the URL of a file known to exist (anything from the applet's codebase, eg. settings.prop) & sets a couple booleans & proxy props... Seems to work pretty well except under Mac OS X:
static String proxyIP = "";
static int proxyPort = 80;
static boolean autoDetectProxy = false; // If SSL version, assume autoDetect, else do not
static boolean useProxy = false;
detectProxy(<codebase file url>);
System.out.println ("Using Proxy:" + useProxy + " Auto Detect Proxy:" + autoDetectProxy + "Proxy IP:" + proxyIP + " Proxy Port:" + proxyPort);
void detectProxy(URL sampleURL) {
    // Added in 5.0.3 - Plugin 1.4 will hide the internal Sun proxy stuff, so use new proxy property introduced in 1.3.0_1 (1.3.1)...
    // 5.0.7 Update: - Plugin 1.4 Final added com.sun.java.browser.net.* classes ProxyInfo & ProxyService... Use those with JREs => 1.4

    if (javaVers.startsWith("1.3")) {    // Use Sun-specific internal plugin proxy classes for 1.3.X... 1.4.+ nuked this method...
        // Look around for the 1.3.X plugin proxy detection class... Without it, cannot autodetect...
        try {

What are the PROXY SETTINGS (port) for HP Photosmart printer 7520 ???

CANNOT FIND THE CORRECT PORT ( proxy setting ) for my
HP 7520 Photosmart PRINTER???

Hi torino71,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to know which proxy settings to set for your HP Photosmart 7520. I was able to find a great thread from a fellow Community member windrunner123, see below:
In some network setup, proxy settings may need to be configured on the printer to enable connection to the Internet.
1. Make sure the printer is on a network and must have an IP address assigned by a Network Router or a DHCP server. Alternatively, you may also configure the printer to use a static IP address. Check and retrieve the IP address of the printer from the Home Screen menu selection: Network -> View Network Summary -> View Wired (or View Wireless) or Setup -> Network > View Network Summary (depending on printer model)
2. In a web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to your printer.
3. Go to the Network Tab > Proxy Settings and enter the proxy settings into the fields and click Apply button. You may have to check with your ISP or IT Administrator for the correct Proxy Setting.
As well as the port settings below you will want your router company to make sure that multicasting is enabled, bonjour protocol needs to be enabled, make sure that mac filtering is disabled, and have them check if there are any firmware updates for the router, and check firewalls on the router to make sure not blocking the communication
The following ports are also used by your HP device and might need to be opened on your firewall configuration
Incoming ports (UDP) are destination ports on the computer while outgoing ports (TCP) are destination ports on the HP device:
Incoming (UDP) ports
137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports
137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
The ports are used for the following functions:
Printing
UDP ports 427, 137 161
TCP port 9100
Photo card upload
UDP ports 137 138 427
TCP 139
Scanning
UDP port 427
TCP 9220, 9500
Faxing
UDP port 427
TCP port 9220
HP Device Installation
UDP port 427
Web Services
80, 443, 5222 and 5223
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions please let me know.

I used to access internet in mozilla firefox 9 with no proxy settings,now it works well under proxy server. but i can not access it in no proxy. help plz

i tried disabling windows firewall, and tried to add firefox in firewall also, but none of these works.

You can try to set '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''Network''' > '''Settings'''. If it's still not working you may have to contact the network provider.

Firefox switches proxy settings each time a new window is opened

Hello folks!
I'm having a curious problem with Firefox 18.0 since the last update.
Every time I open Firefox or a new application, the proxy settings are set to "Use system proxy settings".
Here's a screenshot of how it looks like right after I opened firefox. In the background you can see the message I now always get, "Unable to find proxy server".
I always have to change this back to "No proxy" to surf the internet. This setting is kept until I open the next window or close and re-open Firefox, than it's reset back at this again, an opening websites does not work.
I first had the idea that the ProxyFoxy-AddIn is causing that, but the problem still exists also after disabling ProxyFoxy.
I'm not sure if this is a Firefox bug or another problem. Maybe can anyone tell me where to set "system proxy settings" in Arch Linux, so that I can avoid this problem. Or do I need to contact Mozilla in this case?
Thank you!
Jan

I think there might be a bug in FF18. After the upgrade, I would also get the error message and couldn't open any site, though using "No proxy" worked I believe. Turns out I had something set under network.proxy.socks (and network.proxy.socks_port) (leftovers of tests done a while back) and even though they shouldn't have been used (I believe, FF17 didn't & I'm using "Use system proxy settings") they obviously were, leading to the problem.
Just resetting those 2 options fixed things for me, and I didn't have time to look into it more, but there might be a bug in there somewhere...
Maybe try checking under about:config if you have any proxy settings set (that you don't need/use) (You don't seem to have any set, but I can't recall if they were visible in the Preferences window or not for me...), and if so reset them. Or just look for any (network) options not using its default value... (Assuming, as it did for me, that running FF18 with a brand new profile works fine.)

Firefox 4 proxy settings do not save after I change them.

Every time I restart Firefox the proxy settings are changed to "manual" and it has a specific HTTP proxy address and port set. A few days ago I ran AVG's PC TuneUp and it optimized Firefox and my internet connection. I thought this might be the problem but after disabling it, Firefox 4 still doesnt work unless I change the settings myself every time. Help?

Ok I fixed it.. It was my Wolfram-Alpha search engine add on
If your proxy settings are going crazy, open the Add-on manager, disable one, restart firefox, continue until you figure out which one is messing up the settings.

How to stop Quicktime using IE Proxy Settings

Hi there,
My company's Proxy Server (Microsft ISA Server) requires Windows Integrated authentication which Quicktime does not support so QT web access fails.
We have a Winsock Proxy component installed on the clent but for this to come into play we need to configure Quicktime not to use IE Proxy Settings as otherwise QT tries to talk to the Proxy server and cannot authenticate.
I have spent a number of hours looking into this but cannot find any way to do this. I know a lot of app's allow you to turn off using IE's Proxy settings and wanted to se if anyone knew how to do this with QT.
Thanks in advance for any help on this,
Ian
Toshiba Windows Vista

Why not just right-click and save the linked file to your computer?
Open the .mp3 with any app you choose.
You can disable the QuickTime plug-in from playing .mp3 files in a browser window by opening the QT Control Panel/Advanced and click the MIME Settings button. Remove the check mark for the .mp3 format and restart your browser for this change to take effect.

Web proxy settings not getting affected for Mozilla Firefox

I have an ISA Server setup as a web proxy in our domain environment . I have changed the proxy settings to the address of the new web proxy server for all the users in the domain by using group policy . Even the connection tab on the internet options have been disabled so that users wont be able to view the settings thereby preventing them from changing the proxy settings . It has been completed successfully . But when we tested the settings with various browsers by trying to access the blocked sites in our environment such as Facebook and other social networking sites , IE , Safari and Chrome seems to be detecting the proxy in the network and was blocking it but Mozilla Firefox and Opera does not seem to be affected by the change and users could have unrestricted access to the web . Please help me with how to configure mozilla firefox proxy settings using group policy edit .

I am facing a similar issue with the flash content on my website (appnina.com). Any flash content is not displayed on my website.
The problem is because of using flash plugin in Mozilla Firefox (21.0 - updated). The flash plugin does not get activated by default. That is whenever opening the site, the flash content is not displayed. It asks to click the activate button. This activation should be one time, however it always asks to do so whenever opening the site.
I just checked and found that this flash problem is not specific to my website but in general (youtube as well).
Let me put the screen shot of the same.
Any permanent solution to this. Let me check if I can delete the old plguin and download it again to solve this issue.
The problem seems to be because of compatibility problem of firefox with flash.
PS: Let me know if I need to start a new discussion thread on this ?
