4. Creating WPAD.DAT and uploading to WFS709TP

Example WPAD.DAT file:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)

{

if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "192.168.201.0", "255.255.255.0"))

return "PROXY proxy.forwifi.com:8080";

else

return "DIRECT";

}

This file will be downloaded to the guest PCs and used by them to decide whether to use a proxy.

The PC examines its local address. If it is in the subnet 192.168.201.0 then the proxy returned is

as shown, with the port that the proxy is running on. In this case if the PC is in subnet

192.168.201.0 then a DNS entry in the local DNS servers point to the proxy, which has the DNS

name of ‘proxy.forwifi.com’.
