It is not rare for a developer having to work behind corporate’s proxy. Following are the list of steps that I end up going through in getting development environment ready. I’ll update the list as going forward.

PowerShell

netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie

or

netsh winhttp set proxy "{your.proxy.address}:{your.proxy.port}"

Azure PowerShell

$proxyString = "http://127.0.0.1:8888"

$proxyUri = new-object System.Uri($proxyString)

[System.Net.WebRequest]::DefaultWebProxy = 
    new-object System.Net.WebProxy ($proxyUri, $true)

[System.Net.WebRequest]::DefaultWebProxy.Credentials = 
    [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials

Login-AzureRmAccount

Get-AzureRmSubscription

Refer to this for full detail

Visual Studio

<defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">  
    <proxy bypassonlocal="True" proxyaddress="http://<yourproxy:port>"/>  
</defaultProxy>

Bash on Windows 10

Configure .bashrc with this

Git bash

global configuration

To globally configure,

git config --global http.proxy http://{yourdomain}\{yourusername}:{yourpassword}@{your.proxy.address}:{your.proxy.port}

This generates .gitconfig file within your home directory

Check with the following command on PowerShell

cat ~\.gitconfig

CAUTION with global configuration for git

Visual Studio does its authentication to proxy server in its own way and doesn’t understand http.proxy config as expected. Instead, it will just read entire http.proxy value as a proxy server address and try login with popup. This ends up failure even if you put your credential again.

So, use global configuration when you need to clone git repository from somewhere but make sure to remove the http.proxy config back from the file to make it work with Visual Studio.

local configuration

To locally configure,

git config --local http.proxy http://{yourdomain}\{yourusername}:{yourpassword}@{your.proxy.address}:{your.proxy.port}

Anaconda

Create a .condarc file under your home directory with following detail.

channels:
  - defaults

proxy_servers:
    http: http://{your.proxy.address}:80
    https: https://{your.proxy.address}:80

ssl_verify: true

Pip Install

from windows command prompt,

SET HTTPS_PROXY=https://{yourdomain}\{yourusername}:{yourpassword}@{your.proxy.address}:{your.proxy.port}

SET HTTP_PROXY=http://{yourdomain}\{yourusername}:{yourpassword}@{your.proxy.address}:{your.proxy.port}
