By default, PhpStorm uses your system proxy settings. Use this page to customize settings of an HTTP or SOCKS proxy server for PhpStorm.

These settings affect the connections that PhpStorm establishes to download plugins, check license validity, synchronize IDE settings between instances, and perform other tasks for the IDE itself.

If you are not sure about the correct proxy settings in your organization, ask your system administrator for assistance.
