Firewall and LAN Proxy Settings

Firewall settings

¡¡

If you have a personal firewall (such as Zone Alarm) installed on your computer, when you start GPass for the first time, your firewall may pop up a window asking if you want to allow GPass to access the Internet. Answer Yes and let your firewall remember this setting. In addition, your firewall may ask you if you want to allow GPass to run as a server. Answer "Yes¡± here too, because GPass indeed runs as a server (i.e., a local proxy for your Internet applications), but it only serves you. If you are still concerned, you can set your firewall to let it serve only your own computer (i.e., localhost). Restart GPass after setting the firewall.

Connecting through a LAN HTTP proxy

In some environments, such as some corporations or schools, traffic for web browsing must go through a designated LAN proxy. For such cases, you can enter the proxy parameters into GPass through the Options page. In addition, if you already have the proxy parameters set in Internet Explorer, you can instruct GPass to automatically detect and use them.
