QUESTION:
In the Admin Preferences section, what is the proxy server URL?

ANSWER:
Some hosting companies like godaddy.com have a proxy server for outgoing traffic, which is meant to speed up data transfer from goddady servers requesting data from other servers. PayPal uses a system called IPN (Instant Payment Notification) to alert programs of transactions made with a specific PayPal account. AdMan must use the PHP extension curl wen using IPN with these kinds of proxy servers. Furthermore, in order to utilize these proxy servers you must specify a Proxy Server URL, which consists of the address and port to your host company's outgoing proxy server. Please contact your hosting company to retrieve their Proxy Server URL.
