Proxy settings tab

Proxy servers are used as part of internet security to hide internet users’ computers from the internet and improve access speed by caching commonly accessed sites.

If your network uses a proxy server, you can specify which proxy settings to use, the address of the proxy server, and whether to use authentication. Proxy information is stored in the AutoUpdate repository list (sitelist.xml). The proxy settings you configure here apply to all repositories in this repository list.

Note:

This feature is not available from the ePolicy Orchestrator Console. Access this feature from theVirusScan Console.
