The OfficeScan server and client can use external proxy settings when connecting to servers hosted by Trend Micro. This topic discusses external proxy settings for clients. For external proxy settings for the server, see Proxy for Server Update.
Clients use the proxy settings configured in Internet Explorer to connect to the Trend Micro Global Smart Scan Server and Web Reputation servers. If proxy server authentication is required, clients will use the authentication credentials (user ID and password) specified on this screen.
Trend Micro Global Smart Scan Server
When smart scan clients are outside the corporate network, they connect to the Global Smart Scan Server to send scan queries.

On the Client Connection with Trend Micro Servers section, type the user ID and password needed for proxy server authentication.
The following proxy authentication protocols are supported:
