Using a Proxy with the HTTP Full Web Page Sensor

The HTTP Full Web Page Sensor uses a browser engine to measure the loading time of a web page.

For all browser engines, the same proxy settings are used that are configured for the Windows user account that the PRTG probe is running on. This is usually the Windows local "system" user account, if you did not change it. To use a proxy to measure the loading time of a web page, you need to adjust the proxy settings accordingly.

The proxy settings are accessible using one of the following methods, for example:

Internet Explorer

To access the proxy settings in Internet Explorer, follow these steps.

1. Open Tools in the menu bar. You can also use the shortcut Alt+X.
2. Select Internet options.
3. Go to the Connections tab.
4. Under Local Area Network (LAN) settings, click the LAN settings button.

Control Panel

Alternatively, you can also access the proxy settings using the Control Panel.

1. From the Windows start menu, open the Control Panel.
2. Click Network and Internet.
3. Click Internet Options.
4. Go to the Connections tab.
5. Under Local Area Network (LAN) settings, click the LAN settings button.
