If you have proxy server IP address and port number, just select “Manual proxy configuration” option and enter them in HTTP proxy and port text fields respectively. If you use exactly same proxy for all connections like HTTPS, FTP etc then select “Use proxy server for all protocols” option. Otherwise you can enter those details.
