Step 5: Configure the Client

After configuring the router, you need to configure your clients to use the Web Proxy. You can configure clients in two ways:

• Configure Web Browser: You can configure your web browser to use the Web Proxy. Open the settings of your web browser and set the proxy address to your router's IP address and the port you set for Web Proxy.
• Configure DHCP Server: If you have a large network with many clients, you can configure your DHCP server to automatically assign the Web Proxy settings to the clients. You can do this by adding the following settings to the DHCP server configuration:
• Option 1: Proxy server's IP address
• Option 2: Proxy server's port

After configuring your clients, they can now use the Web Proxy.
