4.2.1.2.2 Proxy server
In ESET Mail Security, proxy server setup is available in two different sections within the Advanced Setup tree.
First, proxy server settings can be configured under Miscellaneous > Proxy server. Specifying the proxy server at
this level defines global proxy server settings for all of ESET Mail Security. Parameters here will be used by all
modules requiring connection to the Internet.
To specify proxy server settings for this level, select the Use proxy server checkbox and then enter the address of
the proxy server into the Proxy server: field, along with the Port number of the proxy server.
If communication with the proxy server requires authentication, select the Proxy server requires authentication
checkbox and enter a valid Username and Password into the respective fields. Click the Detect proxy server
button to automatically detect and insert proxy server settings. The parameters specified in Internet Explorer will
be copied.
NOTE: This feature does not retrieve authentication data (username and password), it must be supplied by you.
Proxy server settings can also be established within Advanced update setup. This setting applies for the given
update profile. You can access the proxy server setup options for a given update profile by clicking on the HTTP
Proxy tab in Advanced update setup. You will have one of the three following options:
Use global proxy server settings
Do not use proxy server
Connection through a proxy server (connection defined by the connection properties)
Selecting the Use global proxy server settings option will use the proxy server configuration options already
specified within the Miscellaneous > Proxy server branch of the Advanced Setup tree (as described at the top of
this article).
