Using a web proxy - AXM Lite

All AXM versions must connect to the SimonsVoss servers to activate their licence. If you have configured a web proxy in your network that restricts access, you need to enter this web proxy. Simply entering the web proxy in the Windows front-end is not enough.

Background: the AXM uses a background system service written in .NET. This service reads the web proxy configuration from the system environment variables.

The following system environment variables must be configured on the AXM device:

HTTP_PROXY

http://<proxyaddress>:<proxyport>

HTTPS_PROXY

https://<proxyaddress>:<proxyport>

NO_PROXY

localhost,127.0.0.1

  1. Administrator rights available.
  1. Access the system environment variables by opening the start menu, for example, and searching for “system environment variables”.
  3. Click on the "Environment variables" button.
  5. Create the required system environment variables.
  7. Click on the “OK” button to save the system environment variables.
  8. Then restart the computer so that the changed system environment variables can take effect.
