Configuring Internet Browsers to use a Proxy
The UniSA network can automatically provide the required proxy settings to your web browser when you connect to the network. This provides greater convenience for users who also connect to other networks removing the need to reconfigure proxy settings when changing from one network to another.
Internet Explorer settings for automatic proxy configuration and manual proxy configuration are detailed below.
Please note: automatic proxy settings only apply to web browser connections. Users wishing to use other services e.g. Skype, will still need to manually configure their proxy settings.
