Proxy Settings to Access the Internet
Your organization or Internet service provider may offer or require you to use a proxy. A proxy acts as an intermediary between your computer and the Internet. It intercepts all requests to the Internet to see if it can fulfill the request using its cache.
Proxies are used to improve performance, filter requests, and hide your computer from the Internet to improve security. Proxies are often part of corporate firewalls.
By default, the FileFlex connector agent is set to "Automatic" Proxy settings. This will automatically detect if a proxy server is in use on your network or not. If it detects that a proxy server is in use on your network it will try to use the Automatic defaults for your system and use the proxy. Generally, these default settings work with no other intervention from you. In the event that the default settings fail, further configuration settings will be required from you or your IT department.
To manually set the proxy setting, select Manual proxy configuration under the Proxy Settings to Access the Internet settings.
Select Manual proxy configuration
Proxy Setting Options:
No proxy: Choose this if you don't want to use a proxy.
Auto-detect proxy settings for this network: Choose this if you want FileFlex to automatically detect the proxy settings for your network.
Manual proxy configuration: Choose this if you have a list of one or more proxy servers. Ask your system administrator for the configuration information. Each proxy requires a hostname and a port number.
