Samsung Smart TV's not connect to the internet

[Julie1988]

The Head has bought some new Samsung smart TV's which supposedlyconnect to the internet. Unfortunately they won’t connect as there is nowhere to put in the proxy details, it is currently connected to the Wi-Fi but in the settings there is no way to put in the proxy settings. Is there anything I can do otherthan going to the local authority to get some ports open?? Are there anychanges I can make on the server to get them online??

Transparent proxy, I think you can set squid up to bridge transparently to an authenticated proxy. TBH proxies are rather outmoded and only still around because of technological inertia.

Yes, come take a broadband / leased line connection from us instead as we don't use proxies what so ever!
