6.2 Setting up the web browsers
As far as possible, computer systems in your LAN should make use of SX-GATE's
various proxy, forwarder and relay services. The SX-GATE web proxy is specialized in
securing the Internet communication of web browsers. The proxy has to be configured
in the browser settings.
The default policy of SX-GATE's firewall will deny any direct
connections between local systems and the Internet! So for the
moment there's no Internet access without proxy configuration.
Open the proxy settings of the browser. They can be found in different menus,
depending on the web browser used. Look for network, connection or LAN settings or
refer to the browser's manual. Enter the LAN IP of SX-GATE and port 8080 as proxy.
In browsers used to configure SX-GATE you should exclude SX-
GATE's LAN IP from proxy access.
It is also possible to use a proxy configuration script or use the automatic proxy
configuration. More information and the configuration of these options is available from
the "Proxy configuration" wizard.
In Windows networks it is possible to assign the proxy
configuration to all workplaces by using group policies.
