NNTP Proxy Host Profile

Tools/Proxies/new

The NNTP Host Dialog is the place you enter the specifics of the proxy you intend to use.

Name

Give the proxy a descriptive name. It can even be the same as the value in the Proxy Server field. This is the name you will look for in the drop-down proxy selector list.

Proxy Server

This is the actual address/name of the proxy server. It could be an actual IP address or a server name.

Port

All proxies listen on specific ports. Indicate the port your proxy listens on here.

Socks

Is this a Socks proxy? If it's for NNTP it MUST be a socks proxy. If it's a Socks proxy, but not TOR, this is likely set to 4.

TOR

Is your proxy TOR? TOR provides anonymous Socks proxy service. If this is TOR, make sure to tick the box, so QSA knows.

online: The TOR Project.

Authentication

If your proxy requires authentication, you'll need to provide the necessary info.

User ID

Enter the User ID of the account you're authenticating.

Password

Enter the account password.
