# Proxy Configuration

In networks where internet access is only allowed behind a proxy server some additional manual configuration is needed.

###  Configuration steps

{% hint style="info" %}
For detailed configuration instructions, see [Windows / Mac File Server](/connections/connect-storage/windows-mac-file-server.md)
{% endhint %}

1. Install and run the agent
2. Set the token
3. Stop the agent and then add the proxy configuration manually
4. To add the proxy configuration, you will need to locate the Movebot configuration file, normally it's located in the directory, **C:\Users\\%username%\AppData\Local\CouchdropCloudConnector.**

   Open the file with Notepad, or something similar, and you will find a JSON with a base config.
5. Edit the "proxies" section, adding an HTTP and HTTPS proxy with the syntax below:

```
{
...
"proxies": {
"http": "", 
"https": ""
}, 
...
}
```

6. Save the file, and start the agent again.

You can also find proxy settings and shortcut links to logs & configuration files in the settings section (gear) within the Couchdrop agent.
