|
|
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 |
