VueMinder Calendar Help - Proxy Settings

Current as of Version 5.3.0

Overview

The Proxy Settings tab of the Options Window allows you to specify proxy settings, if required to access the internet.  If you don't connect through a proxy server (or don't know), then you can probably use the default setting, which is to not use a proxy server.

Use Proxy Server

If you connect to the internet through a proxy server, your proxy settings can be entered after checking the "Use a proxy server" box.  If you don't connect through a proxy, you should leave this box unchecked to ensure VueMinder Calendar can correctly connect.  VueMinder Calendar connects to the internet when publishing or subscribing to online calendars, when sending email reminders, and when sending text message reminders.

Specify a Proxy Server

If you have configured Microsoft Internet Explorer to access the internet through a proxy server, you can simply have VueMinder Calendar reuse those settings.  Alternatively, you can choose to manually specify a proxy server and port by clicking the corresponding option.

Proxy Server Authentication

If your proxy server requires authentication to connect, check the "Proxy server requires authentication" box.  This will allow you to enter the user name and password that are required to connect.  The password is saved locally using 256-bit encryption.

Test Proxy Settings

After entering your proxy settings, it is recommended that you test your settings by using the "Text Proxy Settings" button.

This will test your internet connectivity and report whether the proxy settings are correct.
