Inserting Internet browsers

Configuring proxy servers

Internet browsers in SMART Notebook software work with any proxy server that adheres to the RFC 2068 HTTP standard. If your system administrator installed SMART Notebook software behind a proxy server, he or she must create access policy rules for inbound and outbound traffic on that proxy server. Your system administrator can further enhance network security by enabling authentication, such as basic or NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication.

Note 

Although proxy servers protect internal networks from intruders, they unavoidably introduce network latency.
