Enable Proxy for Data Loader

Introduction

If your network is using a proxy to access the Internet, you may be required to enter proxy settings into locally installed Jitterbit applications, such as Design Studio, Data Loader, or a Private Agent.

By using a proxy, computers on a network do not connect directly with the Internet. For example, when you request a webpage in your browser, the browser forwards the request to the proxy and the proxy actually connects to the website. Your proxy receives the responses sent by the website and returns the responses to your browser. The proxy may be embedded in your router or it may be a separate server.

You may be able to use the proxy settings found in your browser settings for Jitterbit applications or you may need to contact the network administrator or third-party vendor that set up the Internet access to request the correct settings.
