cluberti Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Any browsers that support WPAD (either via DHCP or DNS, although DNS is preferred for cross-browser compat) can be configured to get proxy automatically. I believe Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and IE all support autoconfig via WPAD and a proxy script, and I'm unsure as to Opera's support (last I checked it didn't support WPAD, but I haven't tried 10.x yet).Note you'd need a web server hosting the wpad.dat file that WPAD points to on the network and DNS or DHCP to point to it as the autoconfig URL.
