Overview

This module allows the user to modify the settings of their proxies used on Windows machines as set in the Internet Settings snap-in within the Control Panel. This module was directly tested against Windows Server 2012 R2 but should work against most Windows versions. For reference on this snap-in, please see the following page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-ics-internet-settings#1TC=windows-7

Module Description

This module allows you to set the following settings within the snap in.

  • Automatically Detect Settings

    • Address
  • Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections)

At this time this module does not allow for more advanced configurations past these settings.
