    Q: How can QuotaGuard be used as a browser proxy?

    A: On Firefox, follow the instructions below

    Note that this is only for QuotaGuard Static and will not work on QuotaGuard Shield or QuotaGuard Dynamic

    Step 1. Click on the hamburger menu icon.

    Step 2. Click on Preferences or Options.

    Step 3. Scroll down to Network Settings under General and click Settings.

    Step 4. Follow the configuration below:

    • HTTP Proxy: proxy.quotaguard.com (ex. us-east-static-07.quotaguard.com)
    • Port: 9293
    • Put a check on “Also use this for FTP and HTTPS”
    • Select OK

    Step 5. When prompted for Username/Password, enter your Username/Password which you can find in our dashboard or as part of the connection URL:

    http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@PROXY.quotaguard.com

    Step 6. Browse https://ip.quotaguard.com to test.

    If you have any issues with this setup (browsers change so quickly, it’s hard for us to keep up with their menus) or it doesn’t work for you, you can always reach out to us at Support and reference this article and we can help get you set up right away.
