We have added proxy activation as of Zoiper 5.3.8, make sure that you are always using the latest version of Zoiper5.
Proxy authentication is supported after Zoiper 5.5.8.
Note: "Custom proxy" will only work with HTTPS. If you need plain HTTP, use the "system" option.
Windows:
The proxy settings do not have GUI and must be changed from the "Config.xml" file which is situated in `C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Zoiper5\`
Linux:
The proxy settings do not have GUI and must be changed from the "Config.xml" file which is situated in `~/.Zoiper5`
Once you open the "Config.xml" file for editing, locate the <proxy> section.
The settings are as follows:
* `mode`: this option determines whether and how the proxy server is used.
* Type: ***text enumeration***.

* `disabled`: This value means that no proxy server will be used.

Command Line proxy activation
You may also perform persistent proxy activation through command line.
The command line parameters below would use the system proxy settings:
--activation-username=[user] --activation-password=[pass] --proxy
For custom proxy address you may use the following command:
-activation-username=[user] --activation-password=[pass] --proxy-server=[domain/IP]
