INTERNET PROXY SETTINGS

If you access the Internet through a proxy server, you can use this screen to modify the proxy server settings.

Caution: You should only use the Internet Proxy Settings screen if you are familiar with using a proxy server and know the proxy settings.

A proxy server is a computer that stands between your computer and the Internet. When you ask for a Web page using your Internet browser, your computer connects to the proxy server, which then fetches the Web page from the Internet, and returns it to the Internet browser on your computer. If you connect to the Internet using a proxy server, you will need to tell your computer or a program that runs on it (like CyberPatrol) to connect to the proxy server rather than the Internet itself. All of the details that your computer needs are usually contained within web browser, and in the case of a default installation, the computer simply checks for these details.

If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) gives you information relating to a proxy server, you must enter these details into the Internet Proxy Settings dialog during installation. If you have already installed CyberPatrol, use the Internet Proxy Settings screen ito enter your proxy settings.

Caution: Unless you are sure that you connect to the Internet through a proxy server and have all of the connection details, we recommend that you do not alter this screen in any way.
