[Solved] Automatic Proxy config problems

Hi all, I'm trying to set up kiosk with the automatic proxy config using a pac file. Outside of Porteus, I can get to the pac files easily by simply putting the URL in a browser. Depending on which pac file I point to, I either get one of two problems - one where it can't access the .pac file at all, or one where it seems like it does, but then says it can't get to porteus-kiosk.org (which shouldn't be blocked).

My pac files are hosted on a windows web server, but even when I put them on a linux server, I have the same issues. Any suggestions or possibly something about the format of my pac files it doesn't like?

Hello jwood.ok,

Please send your pac file (the one which is accessible by the kiosk and supposed to allow accessing porteus-kiosk.org) to [email protected].

This issue is fixed now and 4.7.0 ISO is updated with this fix:

Code: Select all

kiosk wizard: make proxy.pac files working again in case when they return the 'DIRECT' connection (no proxy used for specific host)
