    Default Browser won't work with K9 on School Proxy

    Hi All,
    I have a problem with the BlueCoat K9 internet filter and FireFox web browser on a Macbook being used on a school website. The school uses a state education dept. proxy that requires a login. K9 will not work with a proxy that requires a login.

    K9 needs to contact a server that holds a database of blocked sites. So, I'm thinking the problem is something like this:-

    When you open the browser K9 cannot access the internet due to not being logged in and fails to respond and so does not allow internet access. I'm wondering if there is any other way to log in to the proxy outside of the browser so that when the browser opens the machine is already logged in and therefore K9 will be able to access the internet ....etc.

    Any ideas??

    Maybe see if the Administrator will allow and Exception to be put into the advanced proxy settings
