# Configuring Proxy Servers

TAP components require an active internet connection in order to run. In more advanced IT environments where local HTTP proxies are configured and running, you will need to make certain configuration changes in order to allow HTTP/HTTPS communication to the underlying public TAP Licensing APIs (all components requied access to <https://licensing.tailent.com>). These configuration changes target the standard .NET [Network Settings](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/network/defaultproxy-element-network-settings):&#x20;

The following TAP Configuration files will need to be targeted:

* **TAP Assistant.exe.config**
* **TAP Studio.exe.config**
* **TAP.Runtime.exe.config**

Each of the files mentioned above are configuration files for their respective components, in XML format. You will need to add the following XML tag to each of the modules you are targeting:

```xml
<system.net>
 <defaultProxy>
  <proxy enabled="false" useDefaultCredentials="false" />
 </defaultProxy>
</system.net>
```

This example bypasses the web proxy usage, but you might need to change it according to your environment. Some setups might require specifying the **proxyaddress** attribute under the [\<proxy>](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/network/proxy-element-network-settings) tag.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tailent.com/knowledge-base-1/configuring-proxy-servers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
