External_Proxy
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, Smart Protection Network, and Web Reputation servers. If proxy server authentication is required, clients will use the authentication credentials (user ID and password) specified on this screen.
