It depends upon the proxy. For example, I've used 'Privoxy', a ad filter proxy that requires you to specify localhost (which is actually 127.0.0.1) as the address and use port 8118. So I entered those two values in the http and ssl proxy fields so that it would work whether or not I used SSL/TLS. I also configured the proxy so it was loaded when my system started.
Can you get your proxy to work with a browser?
What proxy are you trying to use?

an idea on proxy settings
Hi,
At the moment (ver 0.8) you can set an HTTP proxy, and you can set a list of sites where not to use the proxy. I'd need the inverse of this: set WHERE to use a proxy, otherwise I want direct connection to the net. The reason is I need proxy just for one site, but if I set it, I get problems with some other pages, so my exclude list is quite big now. I think it'd be a good idea to put this feature in the next release.
Thanks,
DH
