Configuring a âproxyâ is going to be confusing unless you ever have to use
one, whatever the
screen says, IMHO.
Knowing what port allows a firewall is a question for the local network
administrator, and you don't necessarily want to ask them because it will
raise suspicionâ And knowing what a âportâ is already means you know quite
a lot about how the Internet works.
Bridges are probably more easy to grasp, because you just have to
copy/paste lines that someone gave you or that you go look on a website.
> On the one hand, we need to make sure that users who need to use
bridges, proxies, etc. are given the opportunity to configure things
correctly.
My reasoning is that users who need to bridges or configure a proxy are
likely to know. Or if they don't know, they will know by trying to a
direct connection and see it fails.
I think writing âthis will work in most situationâ and âif unsure use the
wizardâ sends conflicting messages.
