**Axon.ivy 7.1 and later:** Starting with Axon.ivy 7.1 and the newly supported CXF web services library, proxy settings can be configured via a new Feature called *ProxyFeature*.
Proxy host name, port and an exclusion list can be set via web service properties *proxy.host*, *proxy.port* and *proxy.nonProxyHosts*. Also, properties for proxy authentication exist.
These properties can be overridden in the environment definitions and in the Web Service Call Activity.

**Prior to 7.1 and Axis:** The proxy server to use to make http or https connections from Xpert.ivy to external servers can be configured as follows:
**In the Designer**
1. Open Preferences (Menu > Window > Preferences)
2. In the Preferences search field write proxy
3. Select the Preferences for *Network Connections*
4. Set active provider to *Manuel*
5. Edit the proxy settings.

**For the Server**
On the Server there are no UI to configure the proxy settings. Instead you have to set the java system properties that controls the proxy settings as follows:
* Navigate to the bin directory of the server.
* Copy the example.ilc file an rename it to the same name as the server executable (If you start the server with the XpertIvyServer.exe then rename it to XpertIvyServer.ilc. If you start the server as Windows service rename it to XpertIvyServerService.ilc
* Open the copied and renamed *.ilc file in a text editor and edit it as follows:
Changed the line
#ivy.vm.additional.options=
to
ivy.vm.additional.options=-Dhttp.proxyHost=192.168.1.23 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="|localhost|127.0.0.1|"
Of course the port and host must be adjusted. For Https use:
ivy.vm.additional.options=-Dhttps.proxyHost=192.168.1.23 -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttps.nonProxyHosts="|localhost|127.0.0.1|"
* Restart the server
