Configure and check the proxy server settings

If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, you must specify the proxy server connection settings.

By default, the application attempts to detect the proxy server settings and connect to the Internet automatically. If the application fails to detect the proxy server settings automatically, it prompts you to enter the user name and password for proxy server authentication. The application saves the specified user name and password automatically.

To configure the proxy server:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the lower left corner of the main window, select Settings settings_icon.

    The Settings list opens.

  3. In the Proxy settings section, select one of the following options:
    • If you do not wish to use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, select Do not use proxy server.
    • If you want the application to automatically configure the proxy server connection settings, select Detect proxy server settings automatically.
    • To configure the proxy server connection settings manually, select Use specified proxy server settings and specify the address and port used to connect to the proxy server.

      By default, port number 0 is used.

    • If a user name and password must be specified when connecting to the proxy server, select the Use proxy server authentication check box and specify the user name and password to connect to the proxy server.

      The password cannot be empty or contain quotation marks.

    • If you want to use a proxy server only for outside resources, select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box.

Kaspersky doesn't receive any of this data. It is only used to generate and send reports to your system administrator.

To check the proxy server settings:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the lower left corner of the main window, select Settings settings_icon.

    The Settings list opens.

  3. In the Proxy settings section, click Check settings.

    The application will establish a test connection with the Kaspersky servers. Results of the test will be displayed in a new window.

When you exit the Settings section, you will be prompted to save the changes or leave the section without saving. Don't forget to save the changes if you want them to apply.
