Configuring Web Proxy

1. Open the Veeam Updater page:

1. Switch to the Configuration page.
2. Navigate to Support Information.
3. On the Updates tab, click Check and View Updates.

2. On the Veeam Updater page:

1. Switch to the Configuration page.
2. Navigate to Proxy Server.
3. Set the Use HTTP Internet proxy toggle to On.
4. In the Host field, enter the IP address or FQDN of the web proxy.
5. In the Port field, enter the port used on the web proxy for HTTP or HTTPS connections.
6. [Applies only if the web proxy requires authentication] In the Username and Password fields, enter credentials of the user account configured on the web proxy to access the internet.
7. Click Save.
