Specify the proxy server the host will use as an intermediary between your web browser and the Internet.

    • From the remote host computer, open the LogMeIn Control Panel and follow this path: Options > Preferences > AdvancedTo open the LogMeIn Control Panel, open your computer's toolbar at the bottom of your screen and select the LogMeIn icon. Then select LogMeIn Control Panel
    • From a client device (such as the logmein.com website, or the desktop client app), connect to the remote host's Main Menu and follow this path: Preferences > Advanced
  2. Under Proxy Settings, set the following options:
    Option Description
    Proxy server address & port If you do not use a proxy server or if you are a home user, leave this field empty. If you use a proxy, make sure the address and port information in this field match the information in your browser settings.
    Tip: To find your proxy address and port in Internet Explorer, go to Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > > Connections > LAN Settings; or select Get proxy settings to retrieve available proxy settings. Alternatively, in the Windows menu, search for "proxy settings" and select that option.
