Quick Start to FreeProxy

Setting up FreeProxy

If you want to start using FreeProxy without reading the rest of the manual, follow these steps:

1. From the Windows menu, select FreeProxy.
   • Start è Programs è FreeProxy è  Freeproxy Control Centre
   • The Control Centre will load Default.cfg automatically the first time its run. (You can change this; more about this later.)
2. Select the Start/Stop FreeProxy button

• Select Start FreeProxy as a service

This action will install FreeProxy as a service ready to use by other computers on your network.

Setting up the browser (Internet Explorer)

Each client computer should be set up to point to port 8080 on the server running FreeProxy. For example, if the name of the computer connected to the internet is MYSERVER and you have set up FreeProxy as described above, then you would set up Internet Explorer as follows (Tools è Internet Options è Connections è LAN Settings …). Press OK to save the settings.
