Check Text

The policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Proxy server/Proxy Settings" must be "Enabled", and have a "Proxy Settings" value defined for "ProxyMode". "ProxyMode" must be defined and set to one of the following: "direct", "system", "auto_detect", "fixed_servers", or "pac_script". Consult Microsoft documentation for proper configuration of the text string required to define the "Proxy Settings" value. Example: {"ProxyMode": "fixed_servers", "ProxyServer": "123.123.123.123:8080"} Values for "ProxyPacUrl", "ProxyServer", or "ProxyBypassList" are optional. Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge If the REG_SZ value for "ProxySettings" does not have "ProxyMode" configured, this is a finding.
