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, choose a Browser Proxy Type and then specify its settings.

Allow User to Configure

Select Allow User to Configure to give the user the ability to manage the proxy settings within the web browser.

Disable Proxy

Select Disable Proxy to disable 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

Select Enable Proxy to enable 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.)
  • Add Exceptions The list of URLs you want to bypass the proxy configuration. Click Add to add a URL to the list.

Auto-Detect Proxy

Select Auto-Detect Proxy to cause 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 Add Exceptions list will bypass the proxy configuration. This setting cannot be modified by the user.

Enter the URL to the PAC file you want to use.
