Browser Proxy

The Browser Proxy configuration for Android Enterprise profiles enables you to specify how the device's web browser connects to the Internet.

In the Browser Proxy dialog box you can specify the following settings in the Type drop-down list:

Allow User to Configure Gives the user the ability to manage the proxy settings within the web browser.
Disable Proxy Disables proxy settings. The web browser will always establish a direct connection to the Internet without passing through a proxy server. This setting cannot be modified by the user.
Enable Proxy Enables proxy settings. The web browser will route all traffic through the proxy specified in the Proxy Address field and (optionally) the Port field.
  • Proxy Address The server address for the proxy server you want to use. (For example: 192.168.0.1.)
  • Port The port number for the proxy server you want to use. (For example: 80.)
  • Exceptions The list of URLs you want to bypass the proxy configuration. Click Add to add a URL to the list, Edit to modify a URL, or Delete to remove a URL from the list.
Auto-Detect Proxy Causes the web browser to use the JavaScript function in a Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file to determine which proxy server to use for each user request. URLs added to the Exceptions list will bypass the proxy configuration. This setting cannot be modified by the user.
  • PAC File URL The URL of the PAC file.
  • Exceptions The list of URLs you want to bypass the proxy configuration. Click Add to add a URL to the list, Edit to modify a URL, or Delete to remove a URL from the list.
