The default setting
<ip value="0.0.0.0"/>

can also be changed as required. Replace 0.0.0.0 with the corresponding IP address or 
host name.

3.2.2  Setting up a proxy server

Avira Update Manager may use a proxy server for updates. By default, this function is 
disabled.

<use_proxy value="false" />

Enable it by making the following changes in the ium.conf file:

<use_proxy value="true"/>

Then insert the information required for the proxy server into the configuration file.

The address of the proxy server is defined with the IP address or server name using the 
option

<proxy_host value="your_proxyserverip"/>

while the port used is defined by entering:

<proxy_port value="your_proxyserverport"/>

Proxy server authentication is disabled by default:

<proxy_use_auth value="false"/>

Activate this by setting the parameter to 

<proxy_use_auth value="true"/> 

You can enter your user name under

<proxy_username value=""/>

in the command line. The password is defined in

<proxy_password value=""/>

Passwords entered via the AUM Frontend are encrypted. If the passwords are 
entered by manually editing the configuration file, they will be stored in plain text.
It is therefore recommended to enter the passwords via AUM Frontend.
