This short guide addresses the question of using a proxy for EveryStep Scripting tool:

  1. Open Computer Management located at “Control Panel”>”Administrative Tools”.
  2. Navigate “Local Users and Groups” > “Users”.
  3. Set password for the user “EverystepScripting”.
  4. Log out from the current windows session.
  5. Log in to windows with username “EverystepScripting” and password, specified at step 3.

Now You can either open EveryStep Scripting Tool and edit proxy settings directly through the internal menu as shown on the picture below

Or run Internet Explorer and specify proxy settings there.

In case your proxy requires authentication, create file “EveryStep Scripting Tool.exe.config” with the following code in it and save into EveryStep Scripting Tool installation directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Dotcom-Monitor\EveryStep Scripting Tool):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="appConfiguration" type="CommonUtils.Configuration.AppConfigurationReader, CommonUtils"/>
  </configSections>
  <system.net>
    <settings>
      <socket alwaysUseCompletionPortsForConnect="false"/>
    </settings>

    <defaultProxy enabled="true"></defaultProxy>
