1. The first section, Servers, contains the local IP address and port that BrowseBlast uses.

HTTP = the Proxy address to use should be 127.0.0.1 and the Port should be 5500.

Leave all the other boxes blank.

2. The second sections, Exceptions, contains any local addresses you'd like BrowseBlast to bypass. With local addresses, it may be faster to not use BrowseBlast to download the page. Whatever addresses you enter here, you will access without the aid of BrowseBlast.
