Using Proxy Servers

If your computer uses a proxy server, you can choose if you want MozyHome to use the server during backups. By default, proxy servers are not used and the Do not use a proxy to connect to servers option is selected.

  1. Right-click the MozyHome icon Mozy Tray Icon in your system tray, and select Configure.
  2. Click the Options tab.
  3. Click Configure Proxy.

  4. To use a proxy server, select one of the following
    • Use this proxy server: Enter the proxy server you want MozyHome to use.
    • Use this computer's default proxy server: MozyHome uses the default proxy server configured for this computer.
    • Automatically detect proxy settings: MozyHome configures the proxy server based on your local network proxy settings.
    • Use automatic configuration script: MozyHome uses the specified script to activate the proxy service. Enter the URL where the script is located.
    • Import Windows Proxy Settings: MozyHome automatically copies your existing Windows proxy settings at the time you select it. It does not continually monitor your Windows proxy settings for modifications. If your proxy settings change, you need to reimport your settings again using the Proxy Configuration window.
  5. Select a Proxy authentication option:
    • My proxy server does not require authentication: No authentication is used.
    • My proxy server authenticates my computer via the domain: Uses your domain for authentication.
    • My proxy requires a user name and password: Specify the user name, password, and domain (optional) for the proxy server.
  6. Click OK to save your settings.
  7. When you have finished in this tab, continue your configuration in other tabs, or click Save. Your settings are saved and the Configuration window closes.
