7.2 Proxy Settings
Most corporations go through a proxy server to access the Internet via the corporate network. If you
wish to access the internet directly through the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess or
the Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection, proxy settings must be turned off. If you are connecting to your
corporation's network using VPN (Virtual Private Networking) and your corporation uses proxies, then
you would need the correct proxy settings to be able to access the Internet. For exact details on the
proxy settings needed when accessing your corporate network, contact your corporate network
technical support department if you need additional assistance.
Performance, when accessing the Internet directly, is improved because you eliminate any overhead of
the VPN client. Also for the N
ationalAccess - BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess
and Quick 2 Net
(14.4 kbps) connection, if the Venturi compression software is installed, it will also increase
performance when you are accessing the Internet directly. When using a VPN client, it creates a
secure connection to your corporate network and prevents accessing the Venturi compression servers
on the Verizon Wireless network, so Venturi is of no value when you are using VPN. For details on
Venturi see
Venturi Instructions.
