Proxy IP Address (mandatory): The IP address or a host name which resolves to the IP address of a local network adaptor, the loopback address (127.0.0.1) or the $local keyword. The resolved IP Address will be used by the proxy to listen for client requests.

To increase the portability of the settings when exporting configurations, it is recommended to use the value $local as the Proxy Address.

Proxy Port (mandatory): The IP port used by the proxy to listen for client requests.
