Intranet Redirection Behavior

Supported versions

  • On Windows and macOS since 88 or later

Description

This policy configures behavior for intranet redirection via DNS interception checks. The checks attempt to discover whether the browser is behind a proxy that redirects unknown host names.

If this policy isn't configured, the browser will use the default behavior of DNS interception checks and intranet redirect suggestions. In M88, they are enabled by default but will be disabled by default in the future release.

DNSInterceptionChecksEnabled is a related policy that might also disable DNS interception checks. However, this policy is a more flexible version which might separately control intranet redirection infobars and might be expanded in the future. If either DNSInterceptionChecksEnabled or this policy make a request to disable interception checks, the checks will be disabled. If DNS interception checks are disabled by this policy but GoToIntranetSiteForSingleWordEntryInAddressBar is enabled, single word queries will still result in intranet navigations.

Policy options mapping:

  • Default (0) = Use default browser behavior.

  • DisableInterceptionChecksDisableInfobar (1) = Disable DNS interception checks and did-you-mean "http://intranetsite/" infobars.

  • DisableInterceptionChecksEnableInfobar (2) = Disable DNS interception checks; allow did-you-mean "http://intranetsite/" infobars.

  • EnableInterceptionChecksEnableInfobar (3) = Allow DNS interception checks and did-you-mean "http://intranetsite/" infobars.
