This KB is about the Endpoint already built correct? I need to pass the proxy parameters to the installer, I have already followed KB 127045 and the request does not reach the proxy.

If you followed https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/127045 and provided the proxy address, username and password; do you see an error? What is in your install log?

Yes, I followed this with username and password and it did not work, the request does not reach squid.

My install log:

Hi the log appears to indicate that the proxy has not been specified correctly;

Please can you indicate the switch you used (please change the actual names etc if needed)
