IT Convergence employes a web proxy for the following services:

• HTTP (Internet browsing)
• HTTPS (Secure Internet browsing)
• FTP (File Transfer)
• Real Player
• SSH < SCP (Secure Shell and Copy)
• MSN, AIM, YM

To employ the proxy for these services you will need to configure the services on your machine. You can either manually configure the service or use the automatic proxy configuration script, if your application supports it.




Go to Tools -> Internet Options



Select the Connections TAB and Click the "LAN Settings" button



Here you should select the "Use automatic configuration script" option and insert the script URL as:


This script will automatically setup your proxy connection.


Applications which access the internet (such as MSN) can also be configured to use the proxy. Change the application settings to use a HTTP proxy at

Any application which supports the use of a proxy can be configured similarly.

Real Player is a popular used media format often used for presentations or for other media events however this traffic can be relatively heavy. The use of an RTSP proxy can lighten this load on the network and make watching streaming media more efficent.

Here select the Proxies Tab, and enter the values





Again you can set a HTTP proxy in a similar fasion as Internet Explorer.
