Management Tools vs. Service Proxy Settings
ORF management tools (Administration Tool, Log Viewer and Reporting Tool) installed on your local computer may require different proxy settings to access remote ORF instances, than the ORF Service that is performing the actual filtering and often needs to update its filter definitions or connect to remote publisher servers for configuration updates.
Proxy settings related to the ORF management tools can be accessed through the menu.
Proxy settings related to the ORF service can be configured on the page in the ORF Administration Tool.
