User control of proxy settings must be disabled.
Low Severity
<VulnDiscussion>This action configures the proxy settings for Microsoft Edge. If this policy is enabled, Microsoft Edge ignores all proxy-related options specified from the command line. If this policy is not configured, users can choose their own proxy settings. This policy overrides the following individual policies: - ProxyMode - ProxyPacUrl - ProxyServer - ProxyBypassList Setting the ProxySettings policy accepts the following fields: - ProxyMode, which allows for the proxy server used by Microsoft Edge to be specified and prevents users from changing proxy settings. - ProxyPacUrl, a URL to a proxy .pac file. - ProxyServer, a URL for the proxy server. - ProxyBypassList, a list of proxy hosts that Microsoft Edge bypasses. For ProxyMode, the following values have the noted impact: - direct, a proxy is never used and all other fields are ignored. - system, the system's proxy is used and all other fields are ignored. - auto_detect, all other fields are ignored. - fixed_servers, the ProxyServer and ProxyBypassList fields are used. - pac_script, the ProxyPacUrl and ProxyBypassList fields are used.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
