Introduction > Proxy settings

The TimeWriter desktop application sometimes queries our web server to:

•Check for updates.

•Download an update.

•Request or renew a license.

•Send an error report.

•Send a database to XSO support (in case of a problem).

Sometimes this network traffic must be passed through a proxy server. During the installation of TimeWriter the use of a proxy server can be set up. These settings then will be used by TimeWriter afterward.

When you afterward need to change the proxy settings, you can do so by editing the file /lib/timewriter.ini.

The file contains the following proxy settings:

[HttpTimeWriterProxyServer]

#host = The IP-address or server name of the proxy server.

host =

#port = The port number of the proxy server.

port =

#username = If authentication is required you can setup the user name here.

username =

#password = The associated password can be setup here. You can write the password in plain, readable text. When TimeWriter uses this password, it will encrypt it.

password =
