Tails, can't connect to proxy


I am trying to connect to the Internet with Tails. I get an error message that tells me the proxy server is refusing connection. I searched on Tails documentation and Internet and haven't been able to fix this. What settings would need to be changed to fix this?

Thanks

That's because only YOU are going to know which proxy server you need to use in your environment. Put whatever settings in that you need for YOUR NETWORK. Some folks don't run a proxy at all..some run TOR through a different port, some have a dedicated machine, some it's localhost.

How did you set this up? Where is your proxy server?

I didn't set up anything yet. I don't know anything about setting up a proxy server. I thought Tails/Tor would set up it's own server. I Downloaded Tails from:
https://tails.boum.org/
My ISP is www.shaw.ca
