Certain enterprises require the use of proxy servers to connect to your network. When this is the case, you will need to set up a proxy connection in ShareGate Migrate. If you would like to know more about proxy servers, see the Microsoft article Working with Proxy Servers.

You will then be brought back to the connection screen to finalize your other connection options. For information on setting up a connection, see Connect to SharePoint and Microsoft 365.
