Proxy Settings

You can forward traffic to ​SIA​ proxy by configuring it in the browser proxy settings.

Before you begin:

1. Consider these limitations:

• Your users must be in on-network locations with NVIS set to “ON”. Off-network locations are not supported with this method.

• You cannot identify the internal client IP address or the internal client name with this method.

• Identity provider configurations are not supported. Therefore, traffic from users who authenticate through an identity provider is not forwarded to the proxy.

1. On your local resolver, apply conditional forwarding that directs the proxy domain (http://10.0.1.95/pac/proxy2.pac) to ​SIA​ DNS servers. This configuration is necessary because the proxy domain cannot be resolved by a public resolver. It also ensures that web traffic destined for the proxy as a result of your browser configuration is directed to ​SIA​ proxy.

To configure the proxy in user browsers:

Do one of the following:

1. Configure a PAC file and provide the URL of the PAC file in a browser or in the system proxy settings.

2. Manually enter the IP address and port of the proxy in the browser or system proxy settings.

Distribute the PAC file URL

To direct traffic from your enterprise devices to ​SIA​ Proxy, you must modify the proxy settings in user browsers and provide the PAC file URL. Depending on the browser and OS, the steps may vary.

These instructions provide steps on how to configure a single instance of browsers. If your organization uses a device management solution or Windows groups policy, you can distribute the PAC file URL to devices across your organization.
