Proxy settings

If you use the application behind a proxy server, you may need to set the proxy settings for outgoing communication. These settings are necessary for automatic updates. You can test your settings using the Test connection button. If neither of No Proxy or Use System Proxy Settings works for you, please consult your system administrator about the proper Manual Proxy Settings. Proxy settings are available from Tools>Options...
