Wireless Downstream of a Proxy Server (AllegroSurf)

Anyone know how I should go about setting up a wireless setup downstream of my AllegroSurf Proxy Server. Not sure how to get started. Have a new Linksys Router and having difficulty.
Thx,

Is Sonic Wall an authenticated proxy?
If so, say good bye to most apps, many apps either fail silently on connecting or even crash behind authenticated proxies - even when the authentication details are supplied in the wireless config
I have iPads behind a smoothwall proxy (non-auth) and we have a proxy.pac file on our managment server.
This proxy.pac (http://ipad/proxy.pac - set in Auto ) directs all iPad traffic to the smoothwall proxy, rather then our default auth proxy.
Smoothwall can insert the authentication, and then direct it to your Sonic Wall

Guest Wireless traffic redirect to Proxy Server

I have Guest WLAN and i want to redirect all the traffice to Proxy Server. We use Cisco Ironport.
Cisco proxy Ironport has the ip 10.X.X.X.
We also have NCS Server. Can anybody tells me where i can configure this
best regards and thanks in advance

Muzaffar:
If you have web-auth configured you may have problems with the redirection if the users are using manual proxy server configured.
For that, you better enable WebAuth proxy redirection on wireless controller.
Here is the config example

How do I create a configuration profile that has wireless settings including a manual proxy server.

I can configure the wireless network using the IPCU but cannot set the proxy server settings.
I'm sure that this is simple but just can't work it out!

IPCU does not currently allow entry of proxy server settings. This must be done, from the device, for each wi-fi network. It would be great if it did.....

Wireless auto proxy server OS X

Hi,
With IOS you are able to assign a proxy server per Wireless connection, but I can not see how to do this via OS X, when im at work I have to manually enter the proxy settings for both HTTP and HTTPS then remove them when I get home.
There must be a way to do this but I can not seem to find anything.
I would be greatful for any advise on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Linc,
Thanks for he response, that will save me a lot of effort
Take it there is no way to link the proxy server to the wireless so it is automatic then?
From what I have read about the locations, which I have already setup, but a manual switch is required to change. I know this makes me sound very lazy, but was just wondering if it is possible.

A new version of Firefox, which downloaded automatically, says Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that's refusing connections, even though I had access before the download.

I was using Firefox earlier in the day with no problem. About half an hour ago I tried to get on the Internet using Firefox (as always). When I did, I was greeted with a little dialog box showing that something was downloading. That's happened before.
This time, though, I was greeted by an error page that said Firefox was configured to use a proxy server that's refusing connections.
I'm not on a network. I have a desktop computer that connedts to a wireless modem that I share only with my wife. I didn't change my settings on either. Neither did my wife.
My "Connection Settings" box still says "use system proxy settings." There are no entries in the manual settings boxes.
I want to emphasize that I changed *nothing.*
I need to know, please, how I can set my computer to get back onto the Internet or, failing that, how I can go back to the previous version of Firefox.
Thank you very much.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":
* [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]

My Firefox no longer works, it will not go to any website and offers the message "The proxy server is rejecting connections". I had the same problem in IExplorer but was able to fix it. I did not choose a proxy server, ever. How do I fix this in Firefox?

I changed out my wireless router, from a Linksys to a Netgear. Everything seemed to work fine, but shortly afterward Firefox could not be used to find any websites, and gave me the message above. The same happened with Internet Explorer, but a tech representative for my ISP directed me to the page where "proxy server" was incorrectly checked and it fixed the problem. I don't know where to go in Firefox to find the same or a similar page. My laptop continued to work fine for some time after, but eventually developed the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, with no luck, and all desktop shortcuts based on Firefox are inoperative. I just keep getting the message that the proxy server is rejecting connections. Since I did not select a proxy server, I don't know how to deselect it.

No idea what "tried everything" means.
Here is how you troubleshoot a password problem.
Go to your email providers web mail page and verify that you have a working username and password by logging into your account there. If you cannot log in there, look for the link to reset your password. Your email password is administered with your email provider.
Once you have a working password you need to remove any stored passwords in Thunderbird and replace with the new, working password.
From the menu bar select''' Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Stored Passwords'''
Remove the passwords for the problem account. Close Thunderbird and restart it. You will be asked for a password. Enter the new password.
No menu bar with Tools? Press the '''alt '''key.
FYI: Thunderbird settings are stored in a different file from the program. Removing the program and reinstalling just keeps you busy for a little while and rarely fixes anything. As you have seen the old settings are picked up when Thunderbird is reinstalled.

Installing a Proxy server?

Ok.
I have come a bit further then last time.
I have managed to get both my internal mailserver and my external mail gateway up and running. They are talking together and mail is flowing as intended.
On the mail gateway in the DMZ local delivery is turned off.
On the internal mail server I now have IMAP running and I'm using Squirrel mail for web based mail.
Web mail is delivered from the internal gateway address through NAT.
I'm running the external web service on the mail gateway in the DMZ.
I'm running internal webservices on the internal server.
VPN connects directly to the internal router.
Wireless services connect directly to the internal network
I have bought a second router to put between the ISP and my DMZ. Once I have installed this router I will start to restrict the flow of information.
Now I would like to take a look at how to set up a proxy server.
I know what it is for, and where to put it but I don't know how to configure such a device.
Could you please point me to some reading material on this issue?
Perhaps something of similar quality as the documentation on postfix.org.
TIA
Hans

Just wondering...
Should I be asking this question on another forum?
If so, on which forum?

What is a Proxy server and how is it disabled?

I'm having problems, and from reading these discussions, I suspect I have to disable my proxy server.
1) Before the most recent OS upgrade, I was able to access iTunes Store only from my home ISP (Wildblue satellite), or if away from home, only when plugged into an ethernet wire. When I'm away from home, I can never access iTunes Store from wireless Airport connection -- no matter what hot-spot I'm at.
2) After the most recent OS upgrade, I have the same problems, except I can't even get on iTunes Store from home. iTunes program bombs as soon as I log into the store.
The solution suggested is to disable my proxy server. (System Preferences -> Networks -> Advanced -> Proxies)
But I have no "disable button" here. I have a choice of "Using a PAC file" or "Manual". If i change it to "Manual", it defaults back to "Using a PAC File". and it says "PAC File URL: http://wpad.wildblue.com/wpad.dat". I can change the URL but I wouldn't have a clue what to change it to.
There is also a checkbox: "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" and it is checked. Should I uncheck this?
Do satellite connections, like my Wildblue ISP, require a proxy server?
Any help meandering through this dark maze of computer mumbo-jumbo is greatly appreciated. I just want to download things from iTunes again.

By default there is no proxy server activated in your network preferences so you must have at some point needed one or otherwise you would not have set it up.
The simple solution is to create a new network location for you to use when your out and about.
system preferences-->network-->location-->edit locations...
click the plus sign
title it with a name of your choosing, click done.
Then apply
This new location should have a blank set of network preferences.

Firefox keeps requesting logon credentials for the proxy server, though they are eneterd in the connection settings.

Every time you go to a new page, Firefox prompts for the proxy server login credentials, this has already been entered in the Network settings in Firefox.

Hi thefrostycat,
It could also be the proxy set up on the network. There is an app for proxy settings: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lechucksoftware.proxy.proxysettings on the play store] as well as an add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/proxy-selector/?src=search Proxy Selector]
Android troubleshooting for GSM device(I do not know if your nexus is, most likely it is not): Access Point Name (APN). Go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > [Your data APN] (your device's menu may differ slightly). Check the Proxy field.

Cannot connect via proxy server

I need to use a proxy server in order to access university resources from off-campus. (This is set up in Firefox using Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings > Automatic proxy configuration URL.) I have been doing this for two and a half years with no problems, but all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. I have made no recent changes to my computer (Windows XP laptop) or browser settings. I get a connection has timed out / the server is taking too long to respond error message whenever I try to access a website via the university proxy server. This is only an issue for websites that require the proxy, such as databases that the university library subscribed to. I can access all public websites as usual.
I have tried Internet Explorer and get the same problem. If I disable the proxy server then my connection does not time out, I just get redirected to the university's "you are off campus and need to enable a proxy server to connect to this resource" page. University technical support tells me there is nothing wrong with the proxy server and that I am set up properly to use it, and that as far as they can tell the issue is probably with my ISP.
I am pretty sure this is indeed as Verizon issue, as I took my computer to a coffee shop and was able to access university resources via the proxy server just fine using the free wireless. I also got out my old laptop, reformatted the hard drive, reinstalled the OS (Windows XP), and had the exact same problem trying to use the proxy server via my home Verizon connection.
Incidentally, I am also unable to log in to Second Life using my home Verizon connection. I get an error message saying the server isn't responding. Again, I had no trouble with this using the coffee shop wireless.
I have spent about three hours trying to get someone from Verizon to address this problem, but keep being told I need to talk to someone else. I have now described this problem to ten different Verizon employees but have yet to reach anyone who even seems to know what a proxy server is, much less anyone who can help with this problem. If anyone out there has any suggestions, I'd much appreciate it. I cannot do much work from my apartment if I cannot access university resources.

That Trace suggests there is a firewall at play somewhere blocking ICMP Echo. Since it's timing out past the modem I do have reason to believe that the modem may be up to something. Visit http://192.168.1.1/ and check the Firewall settings. If it's set to Low or High, disable it. If you are prompted for a User/Pass, try the following:
admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
Your Verizon Username and Password

Proxy server is refusing connection

I am green at this. I do not want to screw up my computer.
After running a virus scan, which said a backdoor virus was detected and quarinteened. I can not link to firefox. I get Firefox is configured to use proxy server that is refusing connection. I have an Hp with Window XP. I had not problem linking with Firefox until this scan. I have attuverse as my internet provider and it is wireless. I can get to my homepage with IE but would rather use Mozilla Firefox.

You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select ''No Proxy''

Proxy server and or redirction: general question

i would like to setup my network so that all user that see it will have to login and then get access to the internet. i don't know where to start.
on a small scale, using my wireless router, my mac, and the addressed passed out by the router, what do i need? or what do i need to configure?
do i need:
a proxy server? or some kind of configuation on DNS/BIND? kerberos? radius? or just macos x server?
thanks everyone,
g.

Yes, you could use DPS to balance load to both masters. But now you have the same issue where if DPS dies, you lose access. So you could have two DPS behind a hardware load balancer. The admin guide explains how to set all this up.
DS 5.2 and DSEE 6.3.1 are ldap v3 compliant. So if you do go with the DPS route, you can use DPS 5.2 or DPS 6.3.1

Message "the proxy server is refusing connection" pops up when connecting to wi-fi

When I go to connect my other dell laptop to the wireless internet, the message (The proxy server is refusing to connect" comes up. it says further, "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." Cannot figure out how to (re-configure?) firefox so that I can log onto wi-fi...

The proxy server is refusing conections on my Nexus tablet.

My son has a Nexus tablet that has Firefox on it. For the last two days he has been unable to use the internet because It keeps giving him the message,
"The proxy server is refusing connections. Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct. "
All the solutions I can find are for Android phones running Firefox or laptops running Firefox. They tell me to go places and click on things a tablet doesn't have. I tried using Chrome but got the same message. My Nexus is running fine. I set up both tablets so I don't understand why his is doing this. All his apps are working fine. It's just his internet access. How do I fix this?
