How to Exclude an Address Being Filtered by Proxy Server on Internet Explorer

So you need to set up a connection to a designated address but the connection is filtered by the proxy server even tough you excluded the address or configured the server not to(In my case it was the frikkin Websense and ISA server combo). Thank Bill for adding a small box into the Internet Explorer that helps us to bypass the proxy check and go directly to the site.
3 single steps to fool your proxy server.

First open the "Internet Options" from control panel.

























Then go to "connections", "LAN settings". Click "Advanced" on the following menu.






















The "Exceptions" box, is the solution. What ever you enter in this box, Internet Explorer will skip redirecting requests to the proxy server.

























By the way, if you want this to work properly, your gateway should be able to access the Internet on its own, eliminating the need for a proxy server distributing Internet. Or you can always enter custom route of course.
