If you are in a company's network and the network is behind a firewall or proxy server, you should contact your company's system administrator for instructions before you change the proxy setting in your browser.
Your ISP must allow you to connect directly to an external proxy browser.
If your ISP DOES NOT ALLOW you to connect directly to sites
using your browser then you will not be able to connect to
