Netscape Navigator 4 with BrowseBlast:

BrowseBlast works in conjunction with the proxy settings in your browser. BrowseBlast will automatically configure the proxy address and port in Netscape. To verify these settings are correct in Netscape, open Netscape Navigator.

Important Note for Netscape:

If you try to stop BrowseBlast while running Netscape, you will be prompted to close Netscape first.

If you do not close Netscape first, you must manually remove the proxy address and port. An explanation about how to do this is in this tutorial.
