NAV installations behind a firewall with no direct outbound access could not download the IEEE OUI file, causing navoui to fail with a "No route to host" error. Add an OuiConfig parser reading a new update_ouis.conf. When its [oui] proxy option is set, navoui routes the download through that proxy. The option is empty by default, so direct connections are unaffected. The config file lives in NAV's config directory and survives upgrades, unlike proxy settings placed in the regenerated navoui cron entry. Fixes Uninett#4141 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
