Controlling Web access with passthru - If you select Allow passthru on cache misses, any time you select a page that is available in its database, WebWhacker automatically accesses your Web browser and loads the page.

Setting up behind a firewall - If your site is running behind a firewall, you must tell WebWhacker the name or IP address and port number of your HTTP proxy (FTP proxy is not currently supported). If you are not sure of this information, contact your network administrator. If you are not running behind a firewall, you do not need to enter this information.

Updating proxy server preferences-

1. From the Tools menu, select Preferences. Then select the Proxy Server page.

2. If you want WebWhacker to automatically access your Web browser when you request a page that is not available in its database, check Allow Passthru on cache misses.

3. By default, WebWhacker is set to listen to port 8080. If there is a conflict and you want it to listen a different port, enter the new port number.

4. If you are running behind a firewall, enter the name or IP address and port number for the HTTP and FTP proxies. Contact your network administrator for this information.

5. If you want to update another preference, select the appropriate page. If you are finished updating preferences, select OK.
