preferences:preferences_categories:internet:proxy

This page lets you configure an HTTP proxy that Opus will use when it needs to access the Internet. This will be used for things like the update checker and Flickr photo sharing. This page doesn't control the proxy for FTP access - that is configured through the FTP Address Book.

If Use a proxy server for HTTP access is turned on, the options are:

  • Proxy type: Sets the type of proxy - HTTP, SOCKS/4 and SOCKS/5 proxies are supported.
  • Server: The IP address or domain name of the proxy server.
  • Port: The proxy server port.
  • Authentication: Set this if the proxy requires authentication, and enter the username and password below.
