Turning Proxy Settings On and Off
Most corporations go through a proxy server to access the Internet via the corporate network. If you wish to access the internet directly through the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess or the Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection, proxy settings must be turned off. If you are connecting to your corporation's network using VPN (Virtual Private Networking) and your corporation uses proxies, then you would need the correct proxy settings to be able to access the Internet. For exact details on the proxy settings needed when accessing your corporate network, contact your corporate network technical support department if you need additional assistance.
Performance, when accessing the Internet directly, is improved because you eliminate any overhead of the VPN client. Also for the NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess and Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection, if the Venturi compression software is installed, it will also increase performance when you are accessing the Internet directly. When using a VPN client, it creates a secure connection to your corporate network and prevents accessing the Venturi compression servers on the Verizon Wireless network, so Venturi is of no value when you are using VPN. For details on Venturi see Venturi Instructions.
