How to configure global proxy server for applications in Windows devices

Click ‘Configuration Templates’ > ‘Profiles’ > open a Windows profile > Click ‘Add Profile Section’ > ‘Global Proxy’

• The ‘Global Proxy’ section of a profile lets you choose a proxy through which applications in the endpoints should connect to external network such as the internet.
   
• You can manually specify a proxy server or use  a proxy auto-configuration (PAC) file by specifying the Pac URL
   
• Note. The global proxy does not affect how Endpoint Manager clients, like the communication client (CC) and Comodo Client Security (CCS) connect to Comodo servers.
   
  • The proxy for use by the EM clients is configured in the 'Clients Proxy' section of a profile. See this wiki for help to configure proxy server for EM clients to connect to Comodo servers.
