<H3><A NAME="s4">4. KFM Web Browser Configuration: Proxy</A></H3>

<P>
<P>This screen configures the KFM Web Browser to use a Proxy-server.
You might want to use a Proxy-server if you are connected to the Internet 
via a firewall or via a (slow) dial-up connection. 
Most ISPs have a proxy-server available for their customers. 
Ask your ISP for the settings mentioned here.
<P>If you chose the  ``<B>Use proxy</B>'' option, 
HTTP and FTP connections
will by default 
be made via a proxy-server which runs on the specified proxy-hosts.
<P>If the ``<B>use proxy</B>'' option is activated, you can specify  
the proxy-host to use for HTTP connections in the
<B>HTTP Proxy</B> box. You can
either specify the hostname or the IP-number of the proxy host.
The ``<B>Port</B>'' box next to it allows you to specify the port on 
the proxy-host which provides access to the proxy-server. 
Most HTTP proxy-servers use port 8080.
<P>Use the <B>FTP proxy</B> box, and the <B>Port</B> box next to it,
to specify the proxy-host and port to use for 
FTP connections. (To use the same setting for the FTP and HTTP
proxy, click on the arrow button next to the HTTP Port; this copies
the HTTP proxy entries to the FTP ones).
<P>
<P>The box labeled ``<B>No proxy for:</B>'' 
defines a list of hosts and/or domains for which the proxy 
should <B>not</B> be used. 
The list may be separated either by commas or by spaces.
If a part of a  hostname matches an entry in the list, no proxy-server
will be used for connections to that host.
<P>This option is useful if you want to access hosts which your computer knows 
about but which are unknown to the proxy-server or which give problems when
acccessed via the proxy-server. Typically you want to 
add '<CODE>localhost</CODE>' here.
