Proxy Pickle

Post by r1x »

I'm having trouble with the Proxy Override. My current set up is as follows:

No Proxy set in Internet Explorer, I use IE for an internal address only, and don't want people getting access to anything else

[Proxy]
UseCustom=True
ProxyEnable=True
ProxyServer=10.11.1.4:8080
ProxyOverride=10.11.1.4:8080
AutoConfigURL=

But, in this state PWB won't connect to the website I need it to, when loaded it is trying to connect to the <RANDOM> site: 193.129.6.52

What setting am I missing to ensure that PWB does go through the Proxy?
I have security set up the wazoo, so PWB can't make changes to IE through the settings or registry. But when I relenquish the security, PWB alters the settings permanently, and then IE has access to everything again!

Does PWB have to work like this?

In PWB v1.xx the proxy settings in the INI do alter the IE registry settings and assumes this is how you want them to stay. You could use a batch file to import the settings into the regiestry, run PWB, and when PWB exits import the old settings back.

PWB v2 resets the proxy setting when it exits.
