• Web Proxy Auto Detect: Citrix client to detect the Web proxy automatically using the Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD) protocol
• Client defined: Citrix client to use the settings configured for the client by the user
• SOCKS: Client client to use a SOCKS proxy server, you must enter the address and port number of the proxy server. The proxy address can be an IP address or a DNS name.
• Secure (HTTPS): Citrix client to use a secure proxy server, you must enter the address and port number of the proxy server. The proxy address can be an IP address or a DNS name.

Configure Client-side proxy in Citrix Web Interface

It is easy to change the behavior of the Receiver with the GUI:

Changing this value will update the webinterface.conf file: ClientProxy=*,None,-

Configure Client-side proxy in Citrix Storefront

With StoreFront, everything is more difficult. No more GUI to change this setting, you need to open the default.ica file located in your web folder:

<Your website path>\App_Data\default.ica
Default path : C:\inetpub\wwwroot\citrix\<storeName>\App_Data\default.ica

Add a line for ProxyType=<value> in both the “WFClient” and “Application” section in the default.ica file.

Configure Client-side proxy with the Client

Apply the user registry below by GPO to all your users who are using a proxy.

It will bypass the configuration from the Web Interface or StoreFront.
