Customising proxy redirection

julianhopkins

Hi I hope you can help me.

So far, the proxy redirection (which seems to kick in whenever I access journals and so on under my university account) works fine.

But two days ago I noticed that an online newspaper I personally subscribe to was also available via the university, so I idly clicked on the link to see. Then the proxy thing kicked in and saved itself.

Now, whenever I try to access that newspaper, Firefox redirects me to the university login page, rather than straight to the newspaper. And even if I login via the newspaper, I can't access the full text of the newspaper.

Please can you tell me how to exclude that newspaper from the proxy redirecting thing.

Thanks,

Julian

preferences-->proxy
Under configure proxies, you'll likely see "multiple site"
double click that --> a list with all configured sites comes up
--> delete the one(s) that you don't want proxied.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the fast reply.

I had found the Configure Proxies dialog already, but double clicking was not at all obvious.

Maybe in a new version a little message could be put below the window - e.g. "To access and/or modify the list of configured sites, double click on 'multiple sites'"

Or something like that.

Thanks again,
Julian
