Dynamic Proxy-Free Update (Reflect 4)

Reflect 4 is a client-based application. Unlike web-based exam simulators, it runs locally on your Windows machine. However, it requires an internet connection for two primary reasons:

The Proxy Problem: Many corporate environments, universities, and even some ISPs use a proxy server. A proxy acts as a middleman between your PC and the internet. If Reflect 4 does not know the proxy settings, it will assume you are offline. Consequently, the "Check for Updates" button will fail, and you cannot download new exam packages.

This is where the "proxy free upd" concept comes in: users want to configure the proxy correctly so that updates become "free flowing" (unblocked).

For advanced IT users managing many lab computers, you can automate the proxy update process.

Registry Method (Windows): Reflect 4 stores proxy settings in the registry. You can deploy a .reg file via Group Policy.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Avanset\VCE Exam Simulator\Settings]
"ProxyEnabled"=dword:00000001
"ProxyServer"="192.168.1.100"
"ProxyPort"="8080"
"ProxyAuthEnabled"=dword:00000000

After pushing this registry update, restart Reflect 4. The software will now route all update checks through the defined proxy automatically. This ensures every student or employee gets a "free upd" (unblocked update) without manually typing settings.
