How do I change Internet Proxy Settings?
========================================

If you want to change the proxy settings go to :menuselection:`Window --> Preferences --> General --> Network Connections`.

**Active Provider** - Specifies the settings profile to be used when opening connections. Choosing the **Direct provider** causes all the connections to be opened without the use of a proxy server. Selecting **Manual** causes settings defined in Eclipse to be used. On some platforms there is also a Native provider available, selecting this one causes settings that were discovered in the OS to be used.

**Proxy entries** - The table displays entries that are available for all providers. Checkboxes in the first column of the table indicate entries to be used for the currently selected provider.

**Proxy bypass** - Use this table to specify, either by name or pattern, the hosts that should not use any proxy. A direct connection will always be used for matching hosts. Checkboxes in the first column of the table indicate entries to be used for the currently selected provider.

When using **Manual** proxy provider there are three predefined schemas to set settings for: **HTTP**, **HTTPS** and **SOCKS**. Configuration for each schema is displayed in the Proxy entries table. To edit settings for a particular schema double-click the entry or select the entry and click :guilabel:`Edit...` button. 

.. important::

    If **Port** field is left blank default port number will be used: HTTP - 80, SSL - 443, SOCKS- 1080.
