Insights Proxy Support

Using a Advanced Insights with a Proxy Server

Applies to: Patch My PC Advanced and Patch Insights

Advanced Insights supports http, socks4 and socks5 network proxies.

Please add the correct protocol to the start of your proxies' network address e.g. http://x.x.x.x, socks4://x.x.x.x, socks5://x.x.x.x. Ports can be added at the end of the network address e.g. http://x.x.x.x:1234"

Adding a proxy server in the Welcome page

If Advanced Insights cannot automatically access our licensing service at https://api.patchmypc.com we will automatically prompt for you to supply proxy details.
