Property ProxyType As ProxyTypes

Remarks

If the user needs to connect to a remote server through a proxy, this property should be set to a value other than ProxyNone. Depending on the type of remote proxy, the user should specify the correct protocol with this property. Socks 4/4a and Socks 5 are general proxy protocols, universal to any type of protocol. Relay is not a real proxy, but just a 'pipe' or 'redirector' that listens on a predefined port, and when a client connects to it, opens a predefined destination hostname and redirects all traffic between the client and the remote server. A relay proxy is very useful when testing other protocols. ProxyWebStandard uses CONNECT method with your proxy running (usually) on port 80 and tries to connect using it. You will have to allow outgoing connections on port 21/22 on your proxy for this to work.
