Defining Proxy Server Settings

Hello. You have arrived at an outdated topic. Please click this link to be redirected to the updated PC User Guide.

If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, you must define the proxy connection data; otherwise, Webroot cannot send updates to your computer. A proxy server is a computer system or router that acts as a relay between your computer and another server.

For more information about your proxy environment, contact your proxy server’s administrator.

To define proxy server settings:

1. From the system tray, double-click the Webroot icon. 
   
   
   
   
   The main interface displays.
   
   
   
   
2. In the upper right corner, click Advanced Settings.
   
   
   
   
   The Settings pane displays with the Install Settings sub-pane active.
   
    
   
   
3. Select Proxy.
   
   
   
   
   The Proxy pane displays.
   
   
   
   
4. Enter the proxy settings, using the information in the following table. 

   SETTING	DESCRIPTION
   Proxy Type	From the drop-down menu, select the HTTP Proxy.
   Authentication Method	From the drop-down menu, select an authentication method.
