[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 206774"] The http vs https for a proxy you mean? that is how all proxies work. You can't really proxy https since it is by nature a point to point encryption. The best you can do is limit what https you let out to prevent the use of bounces and such. Again chances are they are not "blocking macs." Pac files are automatically found by IE generally. OS X on the other hand does not autodetect pac files. At a guess you are using Safari? Try downloading firefox then under preferences => connection settings set it to autodetect proxy settings. Then shutdown and restart firefox and see if you can get out to the web over http. Safari uses OS X settings for proxies, which requires some setup. Firefox on the other hand has the ability to autodetect proxies, following the same basic procedure as IE. This might allow you out, though without knowing more of your schools network that is just a guess. [/QUOTE]
