• Use my web browser’s HTTP proxy settings
  Select this option if your web browser software (Internet Explorer only) is configured to use a proxy..
   

• Manually configure HTTP proxy
  Select this option if your computer uses a network proxy server to receive information.

  Port
  Enter the port of the proxy server.

Proxy authentication

• No authentication needed
  Select this option if you do not need to enter a username and password when browsing the Internet.

  Password
  Enter the password in the field provided.

Security

You can select the level of encryption used for all communications between PlanetDNS Client and PlanetDNS service providers. Higher levels of encryption provide greater security.

• Encryption
  You can select three different encryption levels or turn off encryption. The 40-bit encryption level is the default setting.
  
  NOTE: Due to U.S. and Canadian export restrictions on strong encryption (more than 40-bits), not all service providers support all available encryption options. If communication problems are encountered, please select a lower level of encryption.
