Browser Configuration
More documentation is available on BFilter website.

Important! If you ever decide to remove BFilter, you will have to undo the changes you are going to make, or your browser will stop working. If you feel uncomfortable about it, I suggest you to install another browser such as Firefox (which is free), and don't touch your main browser's configuration.

Internet Explorer

Go to Tools -> Internet Options.
(1) Select the Connections tab.
(2) If your internet provider appers in this list, click (3), otherwise click (4).
(1) If any of these two check boxes are checked, stop right here. You will need assistence from your network administrator to properly configure BFilter.
(2) Check this one.
(3) Click Advanced...
(1) Uncheck this one.
(2) Put 127.0.0.1 in there. What is 127.0.0.1 and why not use localhost instead?
(3) Put 8080 in there.

Firefox

Go to Tools -> Options.
(1) Select General.
(2) Click Connection Settings...
(1) If this one is selected, stop right here. You will need assistence from your network administrator to properly configure BFilter.
(2) Select this one.
(3) Uncheck this one.
(4) Put 127.0.0.1 in there. What is 127.0.0.1 and why not use localhost instead?
(5) Put 8080 in there.

Others

We don't have step-by-step instructions for other browsers, but the idea is simple: you have to set the HTTP proxy to 127.0.0.1, port 8080, but don't set it for protocols other than HTTP.

What is 127.0.0.1 and why not use localhost instead?

127.0.0.1 is a special IP address that refers to the local computer. The reason you should use it instead of localhost is that localhost may also resolve to ::1 (the IPv6 equivalent of 127.0.0.1), which BFilter doesn't listen to by default.
