Configuring the AT&T Global Network Client to Establish a VPN Connection through a
Proxy
The AT&T Global Network Client performs these steps in the following order when establishing a VPN
connection during the initial authentication request:
1. Attempt to connect directly across the existing network connection.
2. Attempt to connect using the user specified proxy information for this location, if specified.
3. Attempt to connect using the Microsoft Operating System (Internet Explorer) supplied proxy
information.
The AT&T Global Network Client User’s Guide contains detail instructions on configuring the proxy in the
AT&T Client, through the Microsoft operating system, and the browser.
Importing a Proxy File for SSL connections
You have the option of using a proxy.ini file to configure browser settings specific to the proxy location
you are visiting so you can access your corporate network through your SSL connection. The proxy
settings are used by the AT&T Global Network Client to authenticate and establish the connection to your
private network.
Proxy.ini File
You will need to provide your users with the proxy.ini file. Proxy information entries are configurable in
the “proxy.ini” file located in the \Program Files\AT&T Global Network Client directory. One or more
proxy information entries can be configured in the “proxy.ini” file. Below is a sample proxy.ini file.
