Configuring proxy server settings in the command line

You can enable or disable the use of a proxy server by application components in the command line with the help of the UseProxy and ProxyServer settings in the general application settings.

You can edit the setting using command line options or a configuration file that contains all general application settings.

The UseProxy setting can take the following values:

  • Yes - enable the use of a proxy server.
  • No: disable the proxy server.

The ProxyServer setting lets you specify proxy server settings in the following format: <connection protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<proxy server address>[:<port>], where:

  • <user> is a user name for proxy server authentication.
  • <password> is a user password for proxy server authentication.
  • <proxy server address> is the IP address or domain name of the proxy server.
  • <port> is the proxy server port.

Connecting to a proxy server over HTTPS is not supported.

When connecting via an HTTP proxy, we recommend to use a separate account that is not used to sign in to other systems. An HTTP proxy uses an insecure connection, and the account may be compromised.
