# Setting up the Proxy in the Browser

Now that the Proxy Server is running, the browser needs to be configured. There are a number of different ways of doing this, depending on the browser of your choice.

Our preferred method is to use one browser *(e.g. Chrome or IE)* for managing the console and another browser *(e.g. Firefox)* for browsing via the Proxy Server. The advantage of this approach is that Firefox has its own local proxy settings allowing us to run basic queries and other web browsing unrelated to our testing in the non-proxied browser.

Note: When using the <code class="expression">space.vars.X\_Product\_Name</code> browser proxy for accessing secure web sites over HTTPS, you will encounter certificate warning in the browser. These warnings are relatively easy to get around by clicking on the **Advanced** button and adding an exception. However, with the advent of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) this has now become impossible to do as the browser will refuse to add the exception.
{% endhint %}

**The Browser Certificate Installation Guide** *(in the documents folder)* provides instructions on how to overcome this problem by installing a trusted certificate authority into your browser that <code class="expression">space.vars.X\_Product\_Name</code> in turn will use to generate valid replacement certificates for each SSL site on the fly.

The following shows how to configure the browser proxy in Firefox Quantum 60.0 on Windows 2012 Server:\\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tomorrowx.com/cap/product-reference/quick-product-introduction/setting-up-the-proxy-in-the-browser.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
