Ignore Proxy On Captive Portals

Specifies whether FydeOS can bypass a configured proxy server for captive portal authentication. For example, captive portal pages such as landing or sign-in pages where users are prompted to accept terms or sign in before Chromium detects a successful internet connection.

A configured proxy server can be set:

  • In the Admin console using the Proxy mode setting
  • By users on their FydeOS device in chrome://settings
  • By apps or extensions that are allowed to set or modify a proxy

When you set this policy to Ignore policies for captive portal pages, Chromium opens captive portal pages in a new window and ignores all settings and restrictions that are configured for the current user. When you set it to Keep policies for captive portal pages, Chromium opens captive portal pages in a new browser tab and applies the current user’s policies and restrictions.
