Does OptiLink work with Firewall programs and Proxy servers?

Firewall programs will need to be configured according to the vendor’s instructions to allow OptiLink unrestricted access to the internet. OptiLink need not be modified or configured in any way for your firewall. For use with Proxy servers, OptiLink supports the most common authentication scheme, called “Basic Authentication”. OptiLink does not currently support Digest and NTLM authentication. To configure OptiLink for use with a proxy server, simply start OptiLink and enter the proxy configuration data into the File/Setup dialog and check the proper proxy options near the top of the dialog. Your system or network administrator should be the best source of information concerning these proxy settings. As soon as you have your firewall configured and the correct proxy settings entered, OptiLink will be able to communicate with the web. Your first sign of success will be when your authorization key is validated and the 4 standard search engine interfaces are enabled.
