We use WebMarshal as the proxy/content filter and a proxy.pac file to configure IE. Most programs are happy to check what IE's settings are (not all though unfortunately)
With that combo there is no need to tell users anything. There is also the bonus of quite in-depth content control and reporting. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W. Ross [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 11 November 2009 7:33 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: (Non)transparent Proxies I'm curious who here uses a non-transparent proxy? We currently are, but are thinking of blocking port 80 and requiring our users to use a specific proxy server, so we can track users via login. If you do use a non-transparrant proxy, how do you inform your users how to connect? I know that Group Policy can set the proxy for IE, but what about other programs on your network? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
