Under Internet Options/Connections/LAN Settings/Advanced, there is a exception list, for sites that doesn not need the proxy in order to be accessed (Internal sites).
I can manualy enter some local IP addressess (printers, servers, controllers) and I can connect no problem to the specified devices, but once I close the Internet browser, the added addresses are gone, so next time I have to enter those again. In the mean time, there is a predefined list in there with internal sites that are staying there no matter what. (comes with the standard image for all users).
Is there a way or a different place where I can make "my addresses" permanent in there ?

It appears to me initially that someone might have loaded the Internet Explorer Zero Administration Kit (ZAK), and setup those settings, and locked them down so the users cannot change them. I would research that aspect.

Also, you didn't mention if your on a domain or not. Those settings could be taking effect from a group policy.

If you give me some details on your environment I can probably help a little more.

I also did not catch if you have checked the box "Bypass proxy server for local addresses". This will then look for resources on the local network only.

Also, you do not have to enter the whole address in the exceptions. You can enter 10.; 192.168.; for example for ranges.

And if you are on a domain, these settings may be controlled by group policy.
