on to that account. If the proxy server requires a username and a password, you
must specify them in the corresponding fields.
● Default Browser Proxy - proxy settings of the current user, extracted from the
default browser. If the proxy server requires a username and a password, you
must specify them in the corresponding fields.
Note
The supported web browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera. If
you use another browser by default, BitDefender will not be able to obtain the
proxy settings of the current user.
● Custom Proxy - proxy settings that you can configure if you are logged in as an
administrator.
The following settings must be specified:
▶ Address - type in the IP of the proxy server.
▶ Port - type in the port BitDefender uses to connect to the proxy server.
▶ Username - type in a user name recognized by the proxy.
▶ Password - type in the valid password of the previously specified user.
BitDefender will use the proxy settings sets in the following order until it manages
to connect to the Internet:
1. the specified proxy settings.
2. the proxy settings detected at install time.
3. the proxy settings of the current user.
When trying to connect to the Internet, each set of proxy settings is tried at a time,
until BitDefender manages to connect.
First, the set containing your own proxy settings will be used to connect to the
Internet. If it does not work, the proxy settings detected at installation time will be
tried next. Finally, if those do not work either, the proxy settings of the current user
will be taken from the default browser and used to connect to the Internet.
