This tab allows control over the method used to make the connection.

Directly

This option is the default. Use direct connection when the WinGate machine is directly connected to the internet.

Through cascaded proxy server

This will cause the service to connect via the service on the specified machine and port. Use this option if you normally access the Internet via another proxy server. Many ISPs have HTTP proxies (usually on port 8080). Large networks may also have multi level cascaded caching.

Through SOCKS4 server

This causes connection via the specified SOCKS4 server, with the specified password.

Through HTTP proxy with SSL support

This option uses SSL tunneling via the HTTP proxy specified.

Option boxes:

These edit boxes are enabled according to the option selected above. If you are connecting to a cascaded proxy or SOCKS4 server, enter the details for the server required.
