Authenticated Proxy Traffic

Specifies whether system traffic can go through an Internet proxy server with authentication.

The default is to block system traffic from going through a proxy server with authentication.

If you select Allow system traffic to go through a proxy with authentication, proxy servers will require authentication with service account credentials, a username and password, to access the Internet. These credentials are only used for system traffic, browser traffic still requires the user to authenticate to the proxy with their own credentials.

Note: Only HTTPS system traffic can be sent through the authenticated proxy. This can impact users who rely on HTTP for FydeOS updates. If your network cannot support FydeOS updates over HTTPS, make sure to set Update downloads to allow updates over HTTP. These updates will not go through the proxy.
