  3. Select your active network connection on the left panel and (WiFi or Ethernet) and click Advanced on the bottom right
  4. Choose the Proxies tab and find “Web Proxy (HTTP)” and check what you have set for “Web Proxy Server” in the right panel
  5. On the left select Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS) making sure you tick the box on the left and set the “Secure Web Proxy Server” to the same settings as in the “Web Proxy (HTTP)”
