				     | 
			 
			
				
  | 
			 
			
				Hi,
 
 
Is it possible to set the proxy setting for connecting to Gixen server via Gixen Desktop Manager? Does Gixen Desktop Manager use proxy setting in IE?
 
I don't see it in the Settings > Preferences.
 
My network does not allow me to connect to the Internet without proxy.
 
 
Please advise.
 
Thank you. |

				What operating system are you running?
 
 
If it is some type of Windows, are you allowed to use the 'proxycfg' and/or 'netsh' commands to configure the proxy settings? _________________ Mark |

				GDM is using SSL anyway, so HTTP proxy setting is irrelevant.
 
 
If you can see https://www.gixen.com in your browser, GDM should work. |

				Thank you for the reply.
 
 
Yes, what mario said is correct.
 
I tried to download and run GDM on my laptop,
 
and GDM can successfully connect to the server.
 
Thank you for the valuable information.
 
I never know before that SSL does not need proxy setting.
 
 
Have a nice day. |

				| Not only that it does not need it, SSL can't really work through a proxy, or at least not in a meaningful way, as such proxy wouldn't be able to modify, read, or filter anything in such a connection, as it's encrypted. |

				Yes, stupid me, I was getting confused between the Domain Name Server and a Proxy server. _________________ Mark |
