Proxy settings

Proxy

Proxies are supported from release v3.22.

On most cases, there no need to set any configuration for the proxy. Everything is done automatically.

Similarly to Infront Professional Terminal (IPT), Excel Add-in uses two type of connection:

  • Infront Data Protocol (IDP) to communicate with real time servers.

  • HTTPS for backgroud pages and analytics backend servers.

The proxy for the Infront protocol is done via a dedicated dialogbox in the Excel Add-in. It can also be set through registry.

Settings for the HTTPS protocol

For the HTTPS communication the  uses the default Windows system proxy settings.

Customizing HTTPS Proxy

By default, the Excel engine uses the Windows setting for the proxy (version 3.23.0 or bigger).

However it is possible to force those setting using windows registries:

HKCU\SOFTWARE\VB and VBA Program Settings\EfFull\Proxy

  • HTTPProxyIP=xxx.xxx.xxx.XXX

  • HTTPProxyPort=8080

  • HTTPProxyUseWindowsCredentials=True|False

  • HTTPProxyUsername

  • HTTPProxyPassword

The current version does not support PAC configuration. Choose manually one of the proxy listed in the PAC file and set it as your main one.
