Using Internet Explorer Proxy Settings
Horizon Client uses proxy seings congured in Internet Explorer.
Bypassing Proxy Settings
Horizon Client uses the Internet Explorer proxy bypass seings to bypass HTTPS connections to a
Connection Server host, security server, or Unied Access Gateway appliance.
If the secure tunnel is enabled on the Connection Server host, security server, or Unied Access Gateway
appliance, you must use the Tunnel proxy bypass address list group policy seing in the Horizon Client
Conguration ADM or ADMX template le to specify a list of addresses to bypass the tunnel connection.
The proxy server is not used for these addresses. Use a semicolon (;) to separate multiple entries. This group
policy seing creates the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\TunnelProxyBypass
You cannot use this group policy seing for direct connections. If applying the group policy seing does not
work as expected, try bypassing the proxy for local addresses. For more information, see

Proxy Fail Over
Horizon Client supports proxy fail over with the Use automatic  script seing under

seing, you must create an automatic conguration script that returns multiple proxy servers.
Horizon Client Data Collected by VMware
If your company participates in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects data from
certain Horizon Client elds. Fields that contain sensitive information are anonymous.
VMware collects data on client systems to prioritize hardware and software compatibility. If your company's
administrator has opted to participate in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects
anonymous data about your deployment to respond beer to customer requirements. VMware does not
collect data that identies your organization. Horizon Client information is sent rst to the Connection
Server instance and then to VMware, with data from Connection Server, desktop pools, and remote
desktops.
Although the information is encrypted while in transit to the Connection Server instance, the information on
the client system is logged unencrypted in a user-specic directory. The logs do not contain any personally
identiable information.
The administrator who installs Connection Server can select whether to participate in the VMware customer
experience improvement program while running the Connection Server installation wizard, or an
administrator can set an option in Horizon Administrator after the installation.
