Accessing Admin Interface
Standard Access From a Client - To access the admin.winproxy interface from a client computer, simply open a browser, and in the address line type in http://admin.winproxy This will open the WinProxy remote administration page...
If you are unable to access the remote administration page by typing in http://admin.winproxy, then enter http://1.1.1.13 into your browser. By default, WinProxy will listen for connections at this address.
To Access the HTML Interface from the WinProxy computer - There are several different ways to access the administration interface from the computer running WinProxy. The easiest is to open WinProxy, click on Web Interface, then select Open Interface:
This will open your selected browser to the http://admin.winproxy address. You can also connect via WinProxy by clicking on File > Settings > Email Filtering, then clicking the "Open Web Interface" hyperlink on the bottom left-hand side of the page:
Another way to connect to the interface from the WinProxy computer is to open a browser, and in the address line type in http://localhost or 1.1.1.13:
Accessing from a Client with a different or no gateway - If you have a client computer that has a gateway other than the WinProxy computer's internal IP address, or, has no gateway at all, then you will need to configure your browser to use a proxy server in order to connect to the Admin interface. In Internet Explorer 5 and above, click on Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings. Check the box that says, "Use a Proxy Server". The address and port box will become active, so that you can enter the information. In the "Address" box, enter the internal IP address of the computer that is running WinProxy. In the "Port" box, enter 80, then save these settings:
You should now be able to access the admin.winproxy interface by entering http://admin.winproxy into the address line
Accessing from a remote location - In order to access http://admin.winproxy from a remote location, you will need to map a port through the WinProxy firewall. Open WinProxy and click on File > Advanced Settings > Mapped Ports tab. Click the New button to create a new mapped port. In Mapped Port Name, enter any name you like, such as Remote Administration. For Proxy Port, enter 23500, and for destination, enter the internal IP address of the WinProxy computer (in this case, 90.0.0.1). The Destination Port is 80, and you only need a port count of one (single port). Set your Type/Protocol to TCP, and the Direction to Incoming.
Click OK to save these settings, then OK again to update WinProxy.
The next step is to configure the browser on the remote computer to access the port that was created. In Internet Explorer, click on Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings button. Check the option to Use a Proxy Server, then for the address enter the external IP address of your WinProxy computer. For the port, enter in the number that you specified in WinProxy, in this case, 23500, then save your settings:
Note:You can only connect this way if your ISP has assigned you a static IP address on your WinProxy computer
In the address line you can now type http://admin.winproxy You will only be able to connect to this site while your browsers proxy settings are enabled this way. To be able to connect anywhere else, simply uncheck the Use a proxy server option in your browser.
