14.1. How To Configure Proxy Settings

The proxy server settings allow you to use Newsgroup Image Collector from behind a proxy firewall. If you have trouble reaching the internet using NIC, or if you know that all newsgroup (NNTP) requests must go through a firewall, then you must configure the proxy settings.

To configure the proxy settings, on the menu select Tools and then Global Settings.
