IE6 and MS Proxy

by tnunetworksupport . Updated 24 years, 8 months ago

I’ve recently installed Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and have discovered that if I set the Connection settings to “auto-detect” the proxy, IE6 will pass right by my MS Proxy server (and WebSENSE) and !BOOM! create an unfiltered/uncensored internet connection.

I must humbly admit that I do not see how IE6 has this capability. This was not possible in IE5. Obviously, there is something here that I don’t understand. We do block outbound traffic on port 80 from within our Cisco router.

Any thoughts??
