How to configure proxy settings in Nipper

Steps to configure Proxy:

1. Open Nipper

2. Navigate to Tools → Settings

3. Change the view from Standard to Advanced (bottom of the window)

4. Select the Internet tab

5. Under Proxy Configuration, choose one of the following:

   • Use System Settings
     → Uses the proxy configured on the host machine

   • No Proxy
     → Direct internet connection without proxy

   • Custom Proxy
     → Manually define proxy details

6. If selecting Custom Proxy, enter:

   • Proxy Server (e.g. IP address or hostname)

   • Port (e.g. 8080)

   • Proxy Server User (if your proxy server requires authentication, enter the username to access the proxy internet server)

   • Proxy Server Password (if your proxy server requires authentication, enter the user's password to access the proxy internet server)

Best Practices

• Prefer "Use System Settings" where possible to maintain consistency with your organisation’s network configuration.

• Use Custom Proxy only when specific proxy details differ from system settings.

• Ensure the proxy allows outbound access to required endpoints.

• Verify proxy details to avoid connectivity issues.
