### Connection Settings

Many organizations block access from the Internet to their networks. This prevents outside parties from gaining access to sensitive information. The protection is called a firewall.

If your organization has a firewall, the browser may need to go through a proxy server before connecting you to the Internet. The proxy server prevents outsiders from breaking into your organization's private network.

#### Configure Proxies to Access the Internet

Direct connection to the Internet
This is the default option. Choose this if you don't want to use a proxy.

Manual proxy configuration
Choose this if you don't have a proxy location (URL). Ask your system administrator for the names and port numbers of the servers running proxy software for each network service and enter the information in the appropriate fields.

Automatic proxy configuration URL:
If there's a proxy configuration file at your workplace, ask the system administrator for its URL and enter it here. Press Reload to load the settings.
