The OfficeScan server and OfficeScan 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 OfficeScan Server Updates.

OfficeScan clients use the proxy settings configured in Internet Explorer to connect to the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network. If proxy server authentication is required, clients will use proxy server authentication credentials (user ID and password).
