Port
To be able to connect to the proxy server of your ISP the corresponding port number
must be specified here. Common values are 80, 3128 or 8080.
Force use of ISP proxy
If your provider operates a firewall which does not allow direct communication with the
Internet, it may be necessary to handle all requests using their proxy server. Please
activate the option in this case. Otherwise SX-GATE assumes a caching proxy used
to speed up the Internet connection.
In this mode the SX-GATE web proxy optimises the forwarding of requests. SX-GATE
will forward only those requests which might be cached to the provider's proxy. For
requests that may not be cached anyway, a direct connection to the target web server
will be established instead. As an example files may not be cached if user authentication
is necessary to download them. Also encrypted (https) connections may not be cached.
ISP proxy login
If necessary, the SX-GATE web proxy can log on to the provider proxy. Provide the
required credentials in the corresponding fields. If authentication is not required these
fields should remain blank.

Proxy selection
Target specific upstream proxies
If requests to particular domains or IP addresses need to be forwarded to a specific
proxy, you can specify the request target and the corresponding proxy here. If a domain
is given as target, its subdomains are included.
Bypass ISP proxy for access to
This area can be used to always directly access certain addresses (e.g. from the
intranet). An upstream proxy or firewall that is configured at "Use proxy server of ISP"
will not be be used for requests to addresses stated here. The specification of a domain
includes all subdomains. So if e.g. the domain "example.com" is found in the list, direct
access is also used for "www.example.com" and "ftp.example.com".
Requests for the hostname of SX-GATE will always be sent
direct.
