Automatic configuration Page
Use this page to create and make available proxy auto-config (PAC) scripts that determine the IP addresses and domains to access through the Smoothwall Filter and those to access directly.
Navigation: WEB PROXY > Web proxy > Automatic configuration.
| Global options | |
|---|---|
| Built-in | Uses the built in PAC script. |
| Bypass proxy server for local addresses | Uses the Smoothwall Filter when connecting to local addresses. It makes users’ browsers bypass the Smoothwall Filter proxy if the address is a host name only, for example: myhostname. Browsers do not bypass the Smoothwall Filter proxy if the address is a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for example: myhostname.example.local. |
| Refer to the proxy by domain name | Makes the Smoothwall Filter proxy use its domain name instead of IP addresses in the configuration file. Before turning on this option, make sure that you have a valid DNS configuration that resolves correctly for this host name. This option must be selected when using Kerberos authentication to use proxy automatic configuration. |
| Exception domains and IP addresses |
The IP address, IP address range, network address or host name that users might access directly. For example:
|
| Advanced » | Expands the view to show the Exception regular expression domains. |
| Exception regular expression domains |
Only shown when you click Advanced ». A regular expression domain per line that users might access directly. In the example, this would turn off usage of the Smoothwall Filter for youtube.com, ytimg.com and subdomains such as www.youtube.com; but not, for example, fakeyoutube.com. For example:
|
| Custom script template | Uses the custom PAC script that you upload. |
| Download | Downloads a template so that you can create your own custom PAC script. |
| Manage configuration script policy | |
|---|---|
| Interface | The address that the configuration script should direct clients to. |
