A proxy server is an intermediate machine that sits between your computer and the Internet and provides services such as web page caching and filtering. Caching proxy servers give you faster access to web sites you have already visited by locally storing or caching those pages; filtering proxy servers usually provide the ability to block out requests for ads, spam, or anything else you want to block.
<p>
If you are uncertain whether or not you need to use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, consult your Internet service provider's setup guide or your system administrator.

Automatically detect and configure the proxy settings.<p>
Automatic detection is performed using the <b>Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD)</b>.<p>
<b>NOTE:</b> This option might not work properly or not work at all in some UNIX/Linux distributions. If you encounter a problem when using this option, please check the FAQ section at http://konqueror.kde.org.

Environment variables such as <b>HTTP_PROXY</b> and <b>NO_PROXY</b> are usually used in multi-user UNIX installations, where both graphical and non-graphical applications need to share the same proxy configuration information.

Use persistent proxy connection.<p>
Although a persistent proxy connection is faster, note that it only works correctly with proxies that are fully HTTP 1.1 compliant. Do <b>not</b> use this option in combination with non-HTTP 1.1 compliant proxy servers such as JunkBuster and WWWOfle.
