Use Google Web Designer with a proxy server
Send feedback help content & informationGeneral Help Center experience As a precautionary health measure for our Google support specialists in light of COVID-19, some support options may be unavailable or delayed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience. This message will be updated as the situation changes. Google Web Designer’s shell application supports the same custom proxy settings that the Chrome browser does. Learn more about Chrome and Chromium settings.
If you’ve already changed Chrome’s settings to allow it to work with your proxy server, the changes for Web Designer should be familiar. If you’re not sure what settings to use, contact your network administrator.
1. Locate Google Web Designer’s application preferences
The location of Web Designer’s application preferences depends on your operating system:
Windows
Open the registry editor. From the Windows Start menu, click Run, then enter regedit in the Run dialog.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Web Designer\Settings
Add each proxy setting as a new value in the right pane by right-clicking the above registry key. For Boolean-type settings, use 32-bit DWORD values with 0 indicating false and non-zero values indicating true.
Mac
You can either use a text editor to edit the XML file containing Web Designer application preferences, or run commands in Terminal.
To use a text editor:
Open the following file:
~/Library/Preferences/
Add each proxy setting in XML format.
To use Terminal, run the following command for each setting you want to change:
defaults write
Linux
Open the following configuration file in a text editor:
~/
If there’s no Settings section, create one by typing [Settings] on a new line.
Add each proxy setting on a new line in the Settings section.
2. Adjust proxy settings
Google Web Designer uses the following proxy settings:
Name
Type
Description
no-proxy-server
Boolean
If true, Google Web Designer doesn’t use a proxy. Overrides any other proxy settings provided.
proxy-auto-detect
If true, Google Web Designer tries to automatically detect your proxy configuration. Ignored if proxy-server is provided.
proxy-server
string
The custom proxy configuration to use. Google Web Designer does not currently support any proxies that require authentication.
proxy-bypass-list
A list of hosts for which to bypass any specified proxy.
proxy-pac-url
The URL of the PAC (proxy auto-config) file to use.
Example
If you want Google Web Designer to try to automatically detect your proxy configuration, adjust the following setting according to your operation system:
Right-click the registry key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, then enter the following:
Value name: proxy-auto-detect
Value data: 1
Edit the file to include the following:
defaults write proxy-auto-detect -bool true
Add the following line in the Settings section:
proxy-auto-detect=true

Would you try accessing the following URL from your browser and if you see the contents of the xml? Ume (GWD team)munread, Apr 28, 2016, 1:48:57 PM4/28/16to Google Web Designer betaI’m running the latest linux mint and I’ve gone through all the help pages that google provides. One, I don’t have chrome or chromium even installed. Two, I can not even begin to figure out how to fix my proxy settings using your directions either because I don’t have chrome or that those fixes don’t work for me. Third, all of the help forums aren’t direct like any linux forms are. Typically they include commands and screen shots. It would help so much to take 5 min to include this on those help pages you give us. I really want to use this but it is becoming a huge pain.

How to configure Proxy Settings in Google Chrome with …
Environment
Knox Manage (KM)
Android Enterprise (AE)
Google Chrome
Overview
This knowledge base article provides a guide on how to configure the proxy through Google Chrome Managed Configuration. A proxy server can be used to improve security, balance the data traffic, and control employee usage.
How do I configure Proxy Settings in Google Chrome with Managed Configuration?
To set the proxy into Google Chrome with Managed Configuration, the devices must be enrolled with Android Enterprise.
In the left sidebar, go to Application, then click on Google Chrome.
Click Assign, then under Android Enterprise Settings, click Set Configuration.
Create a name for the Managed Configuration, then enter your proxy under Proxy Settings.
Below is an example of the string to enter when setting proxy:{“ProxyMode”:”fixed_servers”, “ProxyServer”:”proxy:port”}
The value is in JSON format. For ProxyMode key, here are the following possible values:* 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.
Click Save.
Under Target, select the Target Type, then the Group or Organization to be assigned to, click Assign, then click OK.
To check if the proxy has been applied, type in chromepolicy in the address bar of Google Chrome on the device. Google Chrome will show the policies applied.
If the configuration hasn’t loaded on the device, it is recommended to clear your cache and cookies, then try again.
