This policy allows Google Chrome OS to bypass any proxy for captive portal authentication.
This policy only takes effect if a proxy is configured (for example through policy, by the user in chrome://settings, or by extensions).
If you enable this setting, any captive portal authentication pages (i.e. all web pages starting from captive portal signin page until Google Chrome detects successful internet connection) will be displayed in a separate window ignoring all policy settings and restrictions for the current user.
If you disable this setting or leave it unset, any captive portal authentication pages will be shown in a (regular) new browser tab, using the current user's proxy settings.
