# Configure proxy server settings

You can specify proxy server options to redirect web traffic to a proxy server.

**Task**

1. Select **Menu** → **Policy** → **Policy Catalog**, then select **Endpoint Security Common** from the Products list in the left pane.
2. From the **Category** list in the right pane, select Options.
3. Click the **Edit** link for an editable policy.
4. Click **Show Advanced**.
5. Configure **Proxy Server** settings on the page.

When you select **Use system proxy** settings, the client system uses the proxy settings configured in Internet Explorer, including support for PAC files.

**Best practice:** Exclude the Trellix GTI addresses from the proxy server. For information, see [KB79640](https://thrive.trellix.com/s/article/KB79640).

6. Click **Save**.
