Defining Proxy Settings

The proxy server settings can be configured using the Proxy page of the Settings dialog. The options are HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5.

Note: SOCKS5 authentication or encryption functionality is not supported.

Connecting through a proxy requires that the Connect through proxy option on the Connection page has been selected. For more information, see Section Defining Connection Settings.

Figure : The Proxy page of the Settings dialog

• Proxy Server

  Enter the proxy server address. The format of the address for a SOCKS proxy is:

  socks://username@socks_server:port/network/netmask,network/netmask...
  

  The format of the address for an HTTP proxy is:

  http://username@socks_server:port/network/netmask,network/netmask...
  

  An example of a proxy server setting:

  socks://socks.ssh.com:1080/203.123.0.0/16,198.74.23.0/24
  

  In this case, the host socks.ssh.com and port 1080 (default) are used as your SOCKS server for connections outside of networks 203.123.0.0 (16-bit domain) and 198.74.23.0 (8-bit domain). Those networks are connected directly. If this option is used, it should almost always contain the local loopback network (127.0.0.0/8) as a network that is connected directly.

• SOCKS Version

  If a SOCKS proxy is used, select its type. Available options are SOCKS4 and SOCKS5. This setting has no effect with an HTTP proxy.
