About This Feature

Overview

Account Proxy Service is a network connectivity feature in WPS Office for Windows. It lets the client connect through a proxy server in corporate intranet or restricted network environments so users can sign in, complete license verification, and access cloud services.

Core capabilities include:

Manually entering the proxy type, server address, port, and authentication details.
Opening proxy settings from the sign-in window and applying the configuration right away.
Supporting sign-in, membership feature access, and cloud service connectivity in a managed network.

This feature is useful for corporate offices, campus networks, and devices that use a centrally controlled network gateway. It helps restore account connectivity and online access in restricted environments.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a proxy settings entry in the sign-in window of the Windows client, where users can manually enter the proxy type, address, port, and authentication details for sign-in, license verification, and cloud connectivity.	Microsoft officially documents proxy use in Windows and provides Word help resources, but its Word help content does not describe the same in-app sign-in-window proxy setup flow.	Google Workspace officially focuses on firewall allowlists, host routing, and Google Drive for desktop proxy requirements, with an administrator-oriented network setup model.	Notion officially supports controlling accessible workspaces through a corporate proxy or CASB, with a focus on network control and workspace access governance.	Adobe officially documents proxy authentication, PAC, WPAD, and credential prompts for Creative Cloud apps, with a focus on proxy compatibility and authentication behavior.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Users can open proxy settings directly from the sign-in window. Distinct: The setup path is visible to end users and supports manual entry in the client.	Compared with WPS: More reliance on system-level proxy settings or external help guidance, with less product-specific in-app guidance for this exact sign-in setup path.	Compared with WPS: More focused on administrator-managed allowlists and proxy policies than on a dedicated manual proxy entry flow inside the client.	Compared with WPS: More focused on enterprise workspace access control than on a general-purpose sign-in connectivity setup flow for everyday users.	Compared with WPS: Proxy support details are broader, but they mainly center on Creative Cloud authentication and compatibility, so the setup path is more distributed for ordinary users.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Account Proxy Service is a practical fit for users who need a direct client-side path to enter proxy details and restore sign-in connectivity on Windows. Other products also provide official proxy-related guidance, but they often emphasize administrator controls, system-level settings, or broader compatibility policies rather than the same end-user setup path.

Use Cases

#	Scenario	Target Users	Core Pain Point	Solution

3	Complete membership license verification	Users already signed in with a membership account	License verification requests cannot connect directly to the internet	Use the proxy address, port, and authentication details provided by the organization
4	Support a shared office network rollout	IT support staff	Multiple devices are on the same proxy-controlled network	Guide end users to configure the client with the same proxy parameters
5	Troubleshoot after switching networks	Users who move between office and home networks	Connectivity changes after the network environment changes	Enable the proxy in the office network and review or disable it when it is no longer needed
