Proxy/Firewall

To get to this panel, press button Settings in JonDo's main window, then choose the entry Proxy/Firewall.
Some users cannot use the anonymity service directly. This is the case if they are blocked by a firewall and thus cannot connect to the first mix. Furthermore, some internet providers require an obligatory proxy.

If you are certain that you are forced to use an obligatory proxy, you can change the configuration of the proxy conection here.

Proxy/Firewall
