This might be useful if you want to make sure you’re receiving information directly from the host or domain and not information that’s cached on the proxy server. To bypass a single domain, enter the domain name—for example, apple.com. To bypass all websites on a domain, use an asterisk before the domain name—for example, *apple.com. To bypass a specific part of a domain, specify each part—for example, store.apple.com.
