Connection options

To access the proxy server setup options for a specific update profile, open Advanced setup > Update > Profiles > Updates > Connection options. Click the Proxy mode drop-down menu and select one of the three following options:

•Do not use proxy server

•Connection through a proxy server

•Use global proxy server settings

Select Use global proxy server settings to use the proxy server configuration already specified in Advanced setup > Connectivity > Proxy server.

Select Do not use proxy server to specify that no proxy server will be used to update ESET Internet Security.

Connection through a proxy server option should be selected if:

•A different proxy server than the one defined in Advanced setup > Connectivity is used to update ESET Internet Security. In this configuration, information for the new proxy should be specified under Proxy server address, communication Port (3128 by default), and Username and Password for the proxy server if required.

•Proxy server settings are not set globally, but ESET Internet Security will connect to a proxy server for updates.

•Your computer is connected to the internet via a proxy server. Settings are taken from Internet Explorer during program installation, but if they are changed (for example, if you change your ISP), please make sure the proxy settings listed in this window are correct. Otherwise the program will not be able to connect to update servers.

The default setting for the proxy server is Use global proxy server settings.

Use direct connection if proxy is not available—Proxy will be bypassed during update if it is unreachable.
