In the SecureAnywhere - Complete package, I noticed under the "Advanced Settings" in the upper right hand corner of the main control interface, there is a "Proxy" category to choose from the list on the left.

 

When selected, you are given fields to fill in, such as :

 

Proxy Type, Authentication Method, Host, Port, Username, and Password.

 

This brings up the question:

 

Does Webroot supply any type of premium proxy services to the "home-based" client? Or are we, the end-user, supposed to come up with the Proxy servers/suppliers ourselves?

 

In times of large-scale data breaches being a common occurrence (The Washington Post: Hackers breach some White House computers)

End-user's privacy and security would highly be increased by inclusive Webroot proxy's or the potential for a Webroot Virtual Private Network , (VPN) included in the complete package.

 

Thank you,

The Proxy option is for users that are running an existing Proxy option in there environment. We currently do not offer a Proxy service for our home users. 

 

Or are we, the end-user, supposed to come up with the Proxy servers/suppliers ourselves?

 

In my opinion the average user does not need to be running a proxy service. Nearly all the major data breeches have been targetted attacks on coroporate environments so I dont see how a home user would have any affect on being a proxy?
