    • If desired, you can bypass proxy server for local addresses using the toggle (turned off by default).
  1. For HTTP proxies, choose whether an authentication method will be used (if yes, you will also need to enter the username and password):
    • No authentication
    • Basic authentication (plaintext)
    • Windows Integrated authentication (NTLM)
