Overview

Many of VueMinder Calendar's features require internet connectivity. If you're behind a proxy server, one of the first steps in setting up VueMinder Calendar is to specify the proxy settings required to access the internet. These settings can also be entered in the Proxy Settings options window. If you're not using a proxy server (or aren't sure), simply leave the checkbox unchecked and click the Next button to advance to the next step.

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 subscribing to online calendars.

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.

After you've entered your proxy settings (if required), click the Next button to proceed to the next step of the Configuration Wizard.
