Home Products SurfFast Support Installation OSX

Below, you will see instructions for configuring OSX system settings, as well as the Safari, Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox 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 Firefox and Mozilla, but will work with Safari and Internet Explorer. Select System Preferences from the Apple Menu, or click on the preferences pane icon in the dock. Click on the icon labeled Network (the black and blue globe) in the Internet & Network group. Once the Network panel opens, click on the Proxies tab. Then, click on the checkbox next to Web Proxy (HTTP) and enter 127.0.0.1 in the first field and then enter 5678 in the Port field. And in the Bypass proxy settings ... field, enter localhost, 127.0.0.1 in the text field. Finally, click on the Apply Now button to finish.
Safari (click on the image for more details)	Select Preferences... from the Safari menu and then click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar at the top. Click on the Change Settings... button, next to the Proxies label. This will take you to the Proxies tab in the Network control panel. See instructions in the previous section for more information on how to configure system-wide proxy settings.
Internet Explorer (click on the image for more details)	Launch the Internet Explorer browser. Select Preferences... from the Explorer menu. 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 Use Web Proxy for all checkbox. If the Settings... button is grayed out, then you will have to go the Network control panel; see the first section for more information on on how to configure system-wide proxy settings. Otherwise, click on the Settings... button. In the new window that opens, enter 127.0.0.1 in the Address field and 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.
Mozilla (click on the image for more details)	Launch the Mozilla Web browser. Select Preferences... from the Mozilla menu. 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.
Firefox (click on the image for more details)	Launch the Firefox Web browser. Select Preferences... from the Firefox menu. Click on the Connection Settings... button at the bottom of the General pane. Select the Manual proxy configuration radio button in the new dialog box. 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.

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!
