Using a proxy server

This functionality is currently under review and may be removed in a future version of WebCopy. If you currently use this feature, we would be grateful if you could email docs@cyotek.com and explain your use case for the feature.

You can configure WebCopy to route all requests through a proxy server.

2. To enable the use of a proxy server, check the Use Proxy checkbox
3. In the Advanced group, check the Use system proxy server settings option
