@PeterD You’ll need to set up your browser to use the proxy server on port 8080. For example, if you are using Chrome: https://www.google.com/search?q=set+proxy+in+chrome.
Please note that you don’t have to use the authenticating proxy for parental control. When you assign a device to a profile, the device is controlled by the profile (for all users using the device).
However, you can use the authenticating proxy server to elevate privileges for a user (or users) on a controlled device. For example, if you share a PC with a child, you can assign the PC to a limited profile. When you use the PC, you’ll be limited by the same profile. But you can set up a proxy user to go beyond the limits of that profile. And this is how you do it:
- Enable the authenticating proxy server
- Create a proxy user
- Assign the proxy user to an unlimited profile
- Configure your browser to use the authenticating proxy via browser settings (or preferences)
- When browsing, authenticate to the proxy server using the credentials created in step 2.
