Due to the Firewall, all web browsers on the Roaming Network must point at the local "proxy server", otherwise they will be unable to display pages from sites outside the University of Sussex. Other programs that access the web also need configuring to point at the local "proxy server".
Automatic configuration can be used as follows:
Safari and other Apple applications on Mac OS X get their proxy settings from the System Preferences control panel. This should be configured as follows:
These settings should be used for programs that need to access the web but are not capable of using autoconfig. It is imperative that you include the "No proxy" setting described below, because without it you will not be able to access any local pages. Please return to this page on a regular basis to check whether any new domains have been added to the "No proxy" list.
NB: only set the HTTP Proxy - the other settings (e.g. FTP Proxy, Gopher Proxy...) should be left blank. Please note that the exact format in which this information should be entered will vary depending upon application and OS.
HTTP Proxy: | wwwcache.sussex.ac.uk | Port: 8080 |
No proxy for: | sussex.ac.uk, susx.ac.uk, 139.184.0.0/16, 127.0.0.1, localhost |
