Settings: Proxy

If you are behind a firewall, it can be still available to synchronize your local PC clock with time servers. You just need to know what type of proxy you use, its address and port number. Currently Advanced Time Synchronizer supports HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS4A and SOCKS5 proxy servers. Unfortunately, most proxy servers do not support UDP datagrams, so the time servers configured to SNTP protocol and TIME and DAYTIME protocols with UDP network protocol will be unavailable, if you using a HTTP, SOCKS4 or SOCKS4A proxy server.

If your proxy server requires authentication, you must check Use authentication for the server check box and specify your user name and password in the corresponding boxes. Advanced Time Synchronizer supports HTTP proxy servers with Basic authentication method, SOCKS4 and SOCKS4A proxy servers with userid authentication (username without password), SOCKS5 proxy servers with RFC1929 authentication method.

Advanced Time Synchronizer version 6 and later: the username and password are sent in utf8 encoding.

To use a SOCKS5 proxy server to connect to time servers by UDP/IP protocol, the SOCKS5 proxy server has to support the UDP ASSOCIATE command.
