9.10.1. Proxy

The proxy server is a stand-alone server or a service running on a PC that guarantees safer connection to the

Internet. According to the specified network rules you can then access the Internet either directly or via the

proxy server; both possibilities can also be allowed at the same time. Then, in the first item of the Update

settings - Proxy dialog you have to select from the combo box menu whether you want to:

Don't use proxy - default settings

Use proxy

Try connection using proxy and if it fails, connect directly

If you select any option using a proxy server, you will have to specify some further data. The server settings

can be configured either manually or automatically.

Manual configuration

If you select manual configuration (check the Manual option to activate the respective dialog section) you

have to specify the following items:

Server – specify the server’s IP address or the name of the server

Port – specify the number of the port that enables Internet access (by default, this number is set to

3128 but can be set differently – if you are not sure, contact your network administrator)

The proxy server can also have specific rules configured for each user. If your proxy server is set up this way,

check the Use PROXY authentication option to verify that your user name and password are valid for

connecting to the Internet via the proxy server.
