Proxy

Route RaiDrive's storage traffic through a proxy server — for networks where direct internet access is blocked.

Proxy settings

Supported proxy types

Type Description
None Do not use a proxy setting (default)
HTTP Standard HTTP proxy; storage traffic is tunneled through it (CONNECT)
SOCKS5 SOCKS version 5 proxy

Configure

  1. Open Settings → Proxy.
  2. Select the proxy type — HTTP or SOCKS5.
  3. Enter the server address, port, and — if the proxy requires sign-in — the username and password.
  4. Click Apply.

To stop using a proxy, select None (or click the Default button).

How drives use the proxy

After a proxy is configured, the Proxy checkbox in each drive's properties is enabled automatically for new connections, and a proxy badge appears on connected drives. You can turn the checkbox off per drive if a particular storage should connect directly — see Options → General.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause Fix
Drives stop connecting after enabling the proxy Wrong address/port, or the proxy blocks the storage's endpoints Verify the proxy details; try None to confirm the proxy is the cause
Only some storages fail through the proxy Proxy filters those domains Allow the storage endpoints on the proxy, or disable Proxy for those drives
