This indicates whether to use the system proxy settings or not.

Syntax

property ProxyAutoDetect: Boolean;

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

true

Remarks

This takes precedence over other proxy settings, so you'll need to set ProxyAutoDetect to FALSE in order use custom proxy settings.

On Windows, the proxy settings are read from the Internet Options in the registry, specifically the registry key HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\. On Windows 10 and later, this corresponds to the Proxy Settings found in the Windows Settings.

Note that these settings apply only to the current user of the machine. If you're running an application as a service, the component will not read your own user's settings. You must instead manually supply the proxy settings in the component's connection properties.

To connect to an HTTP proxy, see ProxyServer. For other proxies, such as SOCKS or tunneling, see FirewallType.
