Hi there,

Why do you need to select a server type? Did you try connecting and could not?

Best regards,

Due to slow downloading of backtest data, I would like to connect to the server through my VPS (my local machine has a SOCKS5 proxy port).

If only the IP and Port are filled in, what is the default proxy protocol?

I've tried, and it seems that only HTTP proxies can connect.
