Using proxy connections with the Dynamics 365 Configuration Data Mover

I was recently asked to add a feature to my Dynamics 365 Configuration Data Mover to enable connections through a proxy server. Because the tool is a .Net application, proxy server connections can be configured directly in the AlexanderDevelopmentConfigDataMover.exe.config file. For example, if you want to use the default Internet Explorer proxy settings, just add the following values inside the element:

<system.net>
  <defaultproxy enabled="true"> 
    <proxy usesystemdefault="true"/> 
  </defaultproxy> 
</system.net>

For more information on proxy settings, take a look at this Microsoft overview on .Net proxy configuration.
