There are cases where custom proxy settings are required to access a specific web page, such as a dashboard. The rest of the player connections will not use the proxy.
Consider the following example:
Your dashboard on dashboard.example.com can only be accessed through the following HTTP proxy:
Proxy: myproxy.example.com
Port: 3128
Username: user
Password: pass
You can configure this under the Advanced Player Directives (Screen configuration→ Advanced → Customization → Advanced Player Directives) using the following directive:
custom_proxy_settings={ "dashboard.example.com" : { "username" : "user" , "password" : "pass" , "proxy" : "myproxy.example.com" , "no_proxy" : "static.example.com" }}
Make sure your directive is a single line of text when pasting it to the Advanced Player Directives field.
Note
In the example above, we added an exception using the no_proxy key. This allows some web page resources to skip loading through the proxy. In these cases, any resources under static.example.com will not use the proxy.
