# Proxy Settings

> How to configure global inbound and outbound proxy settings in CData Arc.

The **Proxy Settings** portion of the **Security** page contains global inbound and outbound proxy settings. Connectors that support an outbound proxy (such as [AS3](../../../connectors/as3)) default to these **Outgoing** settings, but you can configure individual connectors with separate proxy settings on the **Advanced** tab of some other connectors (for example, [FTP](../../../connectors/ftp) and [SFTP](../../../connectors/sftp)).

| **HTTP Forwarded Header** | Use this when Arc is behind a proxy or routing agent to record the IP address of original incoming requests in the access log. When specified, the application first checks for a header with this value to record as the remote IP column's value in the log. |
