Hi Ivaniel, There is no proxy configuration in either IDV or McV, both are client-side applications. However, when the IDV/McV connection to the data server, such as TDS or ADDE, you do need to go through certain port numbers that need to be opened on your network. Most of the TDS servers use the https/http port and the ADDE requires port 112 to be available. So you need to check with your system ADM to make sure that.
