Home Products SurfFast Support Installation OS9

Below, you will see instructions for configuring OS9 system settings, as well as the Mozilla and Internet Explorer browsers, to use SurfFast as the Web proxy server. Go ahead and take a look at the icon and browser name listed in the left column below and select the one that you typically use:

System-Wide Configuration (click on the image for more details)	Setting the proxy server at the system level will not work with all browsers, most notably Mozilla, but will work with Internet Explorer. Open the Control Panels folder; go to Apple Menu and choose Control Panels or open the System Folder and then open the Control Panels folder. Open the Internet Config and/or Internet Control Panel. Go to the Advanced tab and traverse through the list of icons at the left and select the Firewalls option. In the Use Proxy Servers pane, click on the checkbox next to Web Proxy and enter 127.0.0.1 in the first field and then enter 5678 in the Port field. Then, in the Bypass Proxy Servers pane, enter localhost, 127.0.0.1 in the text field. Finally, close the window at which point the control panel will ask you if you want to save the changes. Click on the Save button to finish.
Mozilla (click on the image for more details)	Launch the Mozilla Web browser. Go to the Edit menu and select the Preferences... menu option. Expand the Advanced category from the list of categories on the left. Click on the Proxies option. Select the Manual proxy configuration radio button in the pane on the right. Enter 127.0.0.1 in the HTTP Proxy field and 5678 in the Port field. Finally, enter localhost, 127.0.0.1 in the No Proxy For field. Click on the OK button to finish.
Internet Explorer (click on the image for more details)	Launch the Internet Explorer browser. Go to the Edit menu and select the Preferences... menu option. Expand the Network category from the list of categories on the left. Click on the Proxies option. In the Use Proxy Servers pane, click on the Web Proxy checkbox. Enter 127.0.0.1 in the Web Proxy field and then click on the Settings... button. In the new window that opens, enter 5678 in the Port field and click on the OK button to close it. Finally, enter localhost, 127.0.0.1 in the large text field at the bottom; the description above the field will start with the List the sites ... phrase. Click on the OK button to finish.

If you use a browser other than the ones covered here, you will need to navigate to its Preferences and look for a pane that allows you to configure network related settings. Then, search for an area where you can set the proxy server information and enter 127.0.0.1 for the address/host, 5678 for the port and localhost, 127.0.0.1 for the list of addresses to bypass.

That's all there is to it!
