Configure proxy server settings (deprecated)

DEPRECATED: This policy is deprecated. It is currently supported but will become obsolete in a future release.

This policy is deprecated, use 'ProxySettings' (Proxy settings) instead. It won't work in Microsoft Edge version 91.

If you set this policy to Enabled you can specify the proxy server Microsoft Edge uses and prevents users from changing proxy settings. Microsoft Edge ignores all proxy-related options specified from the command line. The policy is only applied if the 'ProxySettings' policy isn't specified.

Other options are ignored if you choose one of the following options:
* direct = Never use a proxy server and always connect directly
* system = Use system proxy settings
* auto_detect = Auto detect the proxy server

If you choose to use:
* fixed_servers = Fixed proxy servers. You can specify further options with 'ProxyServer' (Configure address or URL of proxy server) and 'ProxyBypassList' (Configure proxy bypass rules).
* pac_script = A .pac proxy script. Use 'ProxyPacUrl' (Set the proxy .pac file URL) to set the URL to a proxy .pac file.

For detailed examples, go to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2094936.

If you don't configure this policy, users can choose their own proxy settings.

Policy options mapping:

* ProxyDisabled (direct) = Never use a proxy

* ProxyAutoDetect (auto_detect) = Auto detect proxy settings

* ProxyPacScript (pac_script) = Use a .pac proxy script

* ProxyFixedServers (fixed_servers) = Use fixed proxy servers

* ProxyUseSystem (system) = Use system proxy settings

Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.

Example value: direct

Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 77, Windows 7 or later
