{{ site.ns-sk }} requires access to the internet to work correctly. If your Windows machine is behind a proxy server and you have not provided the correct settings to the {{ site.ns-cli }}, {{ site.sk }} will throw and error on start-up and become unresponsive.
When you are running behind a proxy, before you can launch and use {{ site.sk }}, you need to configure the proxy settings in the {{ site.ns-cli }}. For more information, see Configure Proxy Settings. If you do not provide a username and password while setting the proxy, you will be prompted to enter them when you launch {{ site.sk }}.
- Launch {{ site.ns-sk }}.
- Click on the settings icon, which is located in the top right corner.
- In the Settings view, select the Proxy section.
- Select the Manual Settings radio button.
- In the Proxy text box, provide the protocol, IP address and port of your proxy.
- (Optional) Enable Strict SSL.
- Click Save.
Continue configuring {{ site.ns-sk }} by [choosing a preferred code editor]({% slug code-editor %}) or explore the [Getting Started Guide]({% slug gs-overview %}) to familiarize yourself further with the client.
