3. Press "Server Proxy Settings"

Step 2 - Configure requests proxying

Update your web.config and ingest the highlighted rule in the appropriate place

web.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="ContimoAdvertorial" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^VIRTUAL_FOLDER/(.*)" /> 
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="https://advertorials.contimo.app/websites/WEBSITE_ID/{R:1}" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Example:

web.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="ContimoAdvertorial" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^advertorials/(.*)" /> 
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="https://advertorials.contimo.app/websites/6489821d2f9f02bd60f06f56/{R:1}" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
                </rule>
