# Configuring Proxy Server

Mobile Device Manager Plus uses this configuration to connect to internet. It is used for the Mobile Device Manager Plus server to contact the APNs, FCM, WNS servers and the managed mobile devices.

**(If you're using MDM in Endpoint Central)**, Proxy settings can be configured by navigating to **Proxy** under **Settings** dropdown in the left pane.

## No Connection to Internet

1. On the web console, click the **Admin** tab.
2. Click the **Proxy Configuration** link. This opens the Proxy Settings page.
3. Select the **No Connection to Internet** option and click OK.

You can choose this option if your MDM Server has no access to the Internet or if your organization works within a closed network like DMZ.

On selecting this, you can manage both Android and Windows devices easily. However, you **cannot manage any Apple devices** when you configure this option. To know more about managing Android devices when you have no access to Internet, please refer [How to manage Android Devices without using FCM](https://www.manageengine.com/mobile-device-management/help/enrollment/customize_me_mdm_app.html#Configure_Mode_of_Communication).
