If you want to use the Update Center or access the Internet through the IDE, but your system is behind a firewall or you use a proxy server, you need to configure the IDE with your proxy settings.
To use an HTTP proxy:
To use a SOCKS proxy:
To run the IDE using a SOCKS proxy, you must pass the SOCKS proxy host and proxy port parameters to the JVM software when you start the IDE. On Microsoft Windows machines, use the ide.cfg file to pass the parameters. On UNIX and Linux machines, you can write a wrapper shell script.
On a Microsoft Windows machine:
-J-DsocksProxyHost=SOCKS-SERVER -J-DsocksProxyPort=1080
For SOCKS-SERVER, use the host name of your SOCKS proxy.
On a UNIX or Linux machine:
runide.sh -J-DsocksProxyHost=SOCKS-SERVER -J-DsocksProxyPort=1080
For SOCKS-SERVER, use the host name of your SOCKS proxy.
