Advanced network settings

Description

These feature allows you to have a fine-grained control over how your system access and communicates with other systems. It allows you set globally the following settings:

• the proxy settings:
  • type (HTTP/SOCKS)
  • host, port
  • authentication method (basic/NTLM) and the user/password
• the SSL settings:
  • the SSL certificates path
  • if you want to enforce the SSL to check the peer identity and/or the host identity
  • the SSL version to be used (like TLS 1.x/1.0/1.1/1.2, SSL2 or SSL3)
• a global download throttling threshold (see the Upload throttling)
• a global request timeout that sets how long will wait for a web page to load until it generates a timeout-error
• the name of the outgoing interface (network card) to be used; this is very useful for servers that have multiple network cards and you want to use a particular interface with this application
