# Proxy Server Configuration

For increased security, you may want to run connectors that support the Syniti Knowledge Platform through a proxy server. To make this possible, you will need to update the proxy URL for the platform you choose to manage your proxy connections. Some connectors have certain proxying requirements.

## Run the Metrics and Reporting Connector through a Proxy Server

The Metrics and Reporting connector supports SOCKS5 proxying. To configure the proxy connection, you will need to complete the following steps:

1. Get a trusted SOCKS5 proxy CA certificate.
2. Add the proxy CA certificate as a trusted connection to your system.
3. Set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable to the url of the proxy server.
4. Test the connection between the proxy server and the Metrics and Reporting connector.
