The setting is only available on Windows.

in the task bar. - Click 'Settings'.

- Enter the proxy server information. All information is required, and the connection will fail if even one piece of information is missing.
- Type: Select 'HTTP/HTTPS' or 'SOCKS' according to your network environment.
- Server: Enter the IP address of the proxy server.
- Port: Enter the port number to connect to the proxy server.
- User: Enter the authentication ID of the proxy server.
- Password: Enter the authentication password for the proxy server.
