  Entering Exceptions for ProxyWatch:

Occasionally ProxyWatch will block a site that isn't considered to be questionable or pornographic.  This may happen with bank or credit union sites.  Luckily you can enter an exception allowing your browser to bypass the proxy server and go directly to the site.  To enter an exception, you must do so within ProxyWatch itself, not the browser.  Do the following:

On the Desktop, click the Start button and select Programs -> ProxyWatch from the menus.

In the ProxyWatch folder, you'll see two programs:  ProxyWatch and Uninstall.

Click the ProxyWatch icon to launch the application.

 

The ProxyWatch window appears.

First you must enter the default password to enable the various options in ProxyWatch.

Note:  Passwords are case-sensitive.  Ensure your Caps Lock key is NOT enabled.

There are two ways to access the Proxy Exceptions screen.

On the Toolbar click Proxy and select Exceptions from the drop-down menu.

 

In the row of icons, click the Tools icon.

 

 

Both methods lead you to the following window:  Proxy Exceptions.

To add an exception, click the Add button.

 

The Add domain to List window opens.

Enter the address of the website you'd like to access directly.

Click the OK button when finished.

 

The site has been added.

Repeat the process for each site you'd like to access directly.

Click the Save button when done.

 

You'll be prompted to save the new proxy configuration.

Click Yes to save the configuration and to close the window.
