Port: 7000Check "Authentication Required" and enter your KnoxProxy credentials.
Username: your_username-country-us
Password: your_passwordCheck "HTTPS Proxy" and enter the same KnoxProxy details as the HTTP proxy.

USER-country-de-city-berlin-session-profile07Order matters -- geo flags before the session flag. The session name is free text; use the profile ID so the mapping is self-documenting. Password stays as issued; no flags belong there. HTTP on :7000, SOCKS5 on :7001, same credentials.
