# Proxy Configuration

In networks where internet access is only allowed behind a proxy server some additional manual configuration is needed. 

 

**Steps:**

1\. Install and run the agent

2\. Set the token

3\. Stop the agent and then add the proxy configuration manually

 

You will need to locate the Movebot configuration file, normally it's located in the directory, **C:\Users\\%username%\AppData\Local\CouchdropCloudConnector.**

Open the file with Notepad, or something similar, and you will find a JSON with a base config. 

 

4\. Edit the "proxies" section, adding an HTTP and HTTPS proxy with the syntax below:

```
{
...
"proxies": {
"http": "", 
"https": ""
}, 
...
}
```

5\. Save the file, and start the agent again.

 

**Proxy URL syntax examples:**

| Simple, no username and password | http\://\<ip>:\<port>                                                                                                             | [http://127.0.0.1:8080](http://13.238.142.115:8080/)                    |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| With username and password       | [http://username:password@\\](https://docs.movebot.io/platform-guides/windows-fileservers/http:/username:password@\\)<ip>:\<port> | [http://proxyuser:password@127.0.0.1:8080](http://13.238.142.115:8080/) |
| Socks                            | socks\://\<ip>:\<port>                                                                                                            | [socks://127.0.0.1:8080](http://13.238.142.115:8080/)                   |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.movebot.io/platform-guides/windows-fileservers/proxy-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
