If URL has no dots in host name, send traffic direct. This is my PAC file, very simple as you can see : My DNS suffix is ".local" which I thought my cause issues if firefox was blacklisting anything that is not a sub-domain (cf ) however in this case forcing the auto detection would not work either, would it ? However this is not the default setting and I cannot enforce it on my network (roaming users, guest laptops, etc.). I don't think there is an error in my wpad setup as IE and Chrome work fine and Firefox too if i set it to auto-discover the proxy settings. Restart firefox and test whether a proxy is in use.įirefox should try auto-discovering the proxy settings using wpad. Set firefox to use system proxy settings (default in newer versions)Ĥ. In Internet explorer, set the proxy settings to auto-detect (do not provide actual values, do not specify the script's url, only check "Automatically detect settings" - this is the default in Vista / 7)ģ.

Set up a working WPAD environment (I used both DHCP and DNS)Ģ.

Firefox's default setting on Windows, "Use system proxy settings" does not seem to understand that it needs to perform auto-detection if Internet Explorer is set to "Automatically detect settings".ġ. Trying to setup automatic proxy discovery through WPAD.
