A quick restart and it still doesn't work. Any pages that I try to access using the machine name just get that bad page returned from the proxy. Using localhost is all well and good for a single page but then you click on a link and it just switches back to the machine name in the url.
Check your IE Zones - I've seen it happen at times that IE would place a local server in the Internet zone, thus causing it to ignore the "bypass proxy" setting. Haven't figured out the reason why yet, but it does appear related to either a non-standard port or the server not being a member of the same Windows Domain as the client. To be honest, this is not something I've spent too much time researching; once I found a solution I moved on.
When you connect to a Web server using the Internet Protocol (IP) address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) on the local network, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Windows Internet Explorer connects through an assigned proxy server even if the Bypass proxy server for local addresses option is turned on.
However, if you connect to a Web server using the host name (for example, ) instead of the IP address (for example, ) or FQDN (for example, ), the proxy server is bypassed and Internet Explorer connects directly to the server.
In the early days of IE, a local server was defined to be "a server without periods in the name". in your example " -dev1/" would be local and " -dev1.hull.ac.uk:5555/" would be remote and sent to the proxy server.
When you connect to a Web server using the Internet Protocol (IP) address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) on the local network, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Windows Internet Explorer connects through an assigned proxy server even if the Bypass proxy server for local addresses option is turned on.
To bypass the proxy, select the Bypass proxy server for local (intranet) addresses check box in the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings dialog box. This method bypasses the proxy for all addresses that don't contain a period (for example, ). These addresses will also be resolved directly.
Enter a wildcard at the beginning of an Internet address, IP address, or domain name that has a common ending. For example, use *.example.com to bypass any entries that end in .example.com, such as some.example.com and www.example.com.
Enter a wildcard at the end of an Internet address, IP address, or domain name that has a common beginning. For example, use www.microsoft.* to bypass any entries that begin as www.microsoft., such as www.microsoft.com, www.microsoft.org, but not www.microsoftcorporation.com.
If you bypass the proxy for a local domain, use *.domain.com. This method doesn't use the proxy for any computer name that ends in .domain.com. You can use the wildcard for any part of the name. For more information, see The Intranet Zone.
The proxy can be overridden on a per-remote basis - see -scm.com/docs/git-config (look for the "http.proxy" and "remote..proxy" settings). Assuming you have the remote called "origin" then the command you could use to bypass proxy for this remote is:
However, I could not understand why is this happening. AFAIK, when you request to access to an address, domain name translation must take place, whether or not you have requested a local address or an internet address.
After clearing cache and history to no avail (I also went into safe boot mode), I discovered what the original poster to this string had. Bypass proxy setting *local, 169.254. I can't seem to get rid of it, nor can I log in as administrator (I'm the administrator. Hers account is a managed acct).
You can configure the list of processes in the bypass list. The Client Proxy software bypasses all traffic from these processes. A process list is a list of processes that run on the endpoints. Windows process names must end with .exe. macOS process names don't require a file name extension. You can add, edit, remove and view the lists of items added to the bypass list. You can use the import and export option to upload and download the process list.
You can configure domain names, edit, remove, and view them in the bypass list. The Client Proxy software bypasses all traffic sent to configured domains. You can use the import and export option to upload and download the bypass lists.
You can configure the IP address in the bypass list. The Client Proxy software bypasses all traffic sent to configured IP addresses. You can add, edit, remove and view the lists of items added to the bypass list. You can use the import and export option to upload and download the list of IP addresses.
Most organizations will want to bypass their proxy server for local web servers (intranet, CMS,helpdesk, etc). You can manually add each new server to your exception list in your logon script orgroup policies or simply use this PAC script to determine if a server is local and bypass itautomatically!
MacOS: In the Proxies tab, add the IP address 127.0.0.1 to the excluded local hosts list. For more information, see Bypassing proxy settings(Link opens in a new window) in the MacOS User Guide.
So we have a proxy server we have to authenticate to with all external traffic. Standard stuff for a big company. In the past we've used *.company.com in the proxy bypass and things that were local didn't go to the proxy server. It seems all traffic was being sent though the proxy server and local websites couldn't be reached. The only way to make it work is to add each server name to the bypass proxy (ie. jss.company.com). This process would make the bypass proxy quite a long list since we'd have to add all the server names. Btw, this is only happening in Safari. Chrome, which uses the system preferences as well has no issues connecting to local and external websites. Although Chrome seems to prompt for the proxy username and password - even though its already in the proxy information.
Not exactly a correct solution but it might solve the problem for you.If you assume that accessing anything from the outside of the proxy will be using DNS-names and not directly using IP-addresses, you can set it like:
For Local Testing to work correctly, you need to bypass the traffic for - bs-local.com - from your proxy. You can do this by clicking the Advanced button and adding an entry in the Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with: text field.
If you give aaa.com a different address using hosts (which generally takes precedence in name resolution over other mechanisms), the request will go to the web server with that alternate name. Now the webserver may not respond as it will get a request for a host it doesn't recognise and may not respond well to that, or may redirect back to aaa.com which would cause the proxy blocking to kick in.
To provide an example, say we're trying to block www.google.com. If you put a line in /etc/hosts specifying one of www.google.com's addresses being www.flooble.com, and then make a request to www.flooble.com and intercept the request with a proxy, what you see is a request to www.flooble.com on the IP address mentioned, with no mention of www.google.com. So if the block is purely based on the hostname, it won't kick in.
EDIT - One other factor to consider, which would be important in this case is "where does the name resolution occur". In some cases with an explicitly configured proxy the name resolution occurs on the proxy, in which case the request wouldn't work. In other cases with a transparent proxy (i.e. the client browser isn't aware that it's using a proxy) the name resolution would occur prior to the proxy seeing the traffic, in which case it would seem from the question that the request would work.
As PureFan wrote in their answer - the conversion of a hostname to an IP address (using DNS or local Hosts file etc) is simply a separate preliminary step that is carried out before the client attempts to make a TCP connection to the IP address of the HTTP server - you can't affect the way this second step uses proxies and firewalls by altering the way aaa.com is converted to an IP-address.
Without knowing anything about the proxy and firewall arrangements it isn't really possible to know what might work. For excample there might be a transparent proxy in use which might be harder to bypass than a proxy configured at the client.
Hello, all..
I'm looking for a little advice regarding Office 2016.
And I apologise if it sounds like a daft question - I'm a desktop person. I know not of proxy and filtering :)
We're behind ForcePoint proxy (I've no idea if that's good bad or indifferent compared to other products. Feel free to laugh, boo or cheer accordingly - it's what we have).
Our Windows 7 and 10 clients moved to Office 2016 during the summer.
Since then, users get daily proxy authentication prompts for authentication when running Excel, Outlook etc. If you click cancel, they go away for a while. If you enter your login details, they go away for a while.. So basically it doesn't matter if you fill in the credentials box or not.
Cue long, lengthy discussions with our Infrastructure team about how to fix it.
I found this topic here:
-office-2013-vs-the-proxy-auth
where user Jimmy White lists a whole raft of URLs to add "auth exceptions" to.
Here's my daft question:
So I have more of an idea about what I'm talking about when I next bring up this topic..
Does doing this mean that the content will still be getting filtered by our proxy server?
My concerns are we currently don't let teachers/pupils access Hotmail. They're blocked by ForcePoint policy.
Also, they currently use OneDrive through a Scotland-wide educational resource called Glow.
Will files that they access on that still be getting filtered and scanned?
(Yes, I know that Microsoft should already be doing this - humour me).
Finally... If these sites are added to the authentication bypass, do we need to make any changes at the client side (IE proxy bypass).. I'm assuming not, but have to check :)
