Automatic proxy detection

By default profiler tries to obtain proxy settings automatically from the system setting of your OS, from your default web browser, etc. For different operating systems profiler uses different detection strategies, so detection should work well in most cases. But you can always configure the settings manually.

The profiler displays detected proxy settings when using the automatic proxy detection mode. This can be very useful in cases where the profiler incorrectly identifies the proxy server, preventing connections with remote agents.

Proxy auto-configuration

Profiler supports a proxy auto-config PAC files, which define how profiler chooses the proxy server for fetching a given URL. To use this method, you should specify the URL of your PAC file.

Manual configuration

Manual method allows specifying proxy type (HTTP or SOCKS v5), as well as host and port which proxy server listens.

No proxy

In this mode the profiler always tries to establish direct connection.

Authentication

If your proxy server requires authentication, please check Proxy requires authentication checkbox and provide the username and password.
