=======================
Using a Proxy Server
=======================

For customers using a proxy server in their network, Launcher has an optional switch/flag which can be implemented to use the proxy server.

In the shortcut to launcher, add ``--proxy-server={serverAddress}:{port}`` to the end of the target line and replace ``serverAddress`` with the address of the server you want to use as a Proxy and ``port`` as the prot number the proxy server expects connections on.

Examples:
-----------------

Here is an example of what a server address may look like in the context of the switch/flag.

``--proxy-server=100.100.100.1:100`` or ``--proxy-server=MyServerName:111``

Shortcut Example
---------------------
To implement, locate the launcher shortcut you use to start launcher and use the above flag at the end of the launcher target.  Please note, there is a space between the flag and the end of the target line.

.. caution:: In the Server Address, do not use the prefix ``http://`` or ``https://``.  Instead, just use the server address without this prefix.
