# Connect through a proxy
|
|
|
|
Some corporate and university networks may require you to connect to Zulip
|
|
via a proxy.
|
|
|
|
## Web
|
|
|
|
Zulip uses your browser's default proxy settings. To set a custom proxy just
|
|
for Zulip, check your browser's instructions for setting a custom proxy for
|
|
a single website.
|
|
|
|
## Desktop
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|system-proxy-settings}
|
|
|
|
{!desktop-sidebar-settings-menu.md!}
|
|
|
|
2. Select the **Network** tab.
|
|
|
|
3. Click **Use system proxy settings**.
|
|
|
|
4. Restart the Zulip desktop app.
|
|
|
|
{tab|custom-proxy-settings}
|
|
|
|
{!desktop-sidebar-settings-menu.md!}
|
|
|
|
2. Select the **Network** tab.
|
|
|
|
3. Click **Manual proxy configuration**.
|
|
|
|
4. Either enter a URL for **PAC script**, or fill out **Proxy rules** and
|
|
**Proxy bypass rules**.
|
|
|
|
5. Click **Save changes**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Additional tips for custom proxy settings
|
|
|
|
In most corporate environments, your network administrator will provide a
|
|
URL for the **PAC script**.
|
|
|
|
The second most common configuration is that your network administrator has
|
|
set up a proxy server for accessing the public internet, but URLs on the
|
|
local network must be accessed directly. In that case set **Proxy rules** to
|
|
the URL of the proxy server (it may look something like
|
|
`http://proxy.example.edu:port`), and **Proxy bypass rules** to cover local URLs
|
|
(it may look something like `*.example.edu,10.0.0.0/8`).
|
|
|
|
If either of those apply, you can skip the rest of this guide. If not, we
|
|
document the syntax for **Proxy rules** and **Proxy bypass rules** below.
|
|
|
|
#### Proxy rules
|
|
|
|
A semicolon-separated list of `protocolRule`s.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
protocolRule -> [<protocol>"="]<URLList>
|
|
protocol -> "http" | "https" | "ftp" | "socks"
|
|
URLList -> comma-separated list of URLs, ["direct://"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Some examples:
|
|
|
|
* `http=http://foo:80;ftp=http://bar:1080` - Use proxy `http://foo:80`
|
|
for `http://` URLs, and proxy `http://bar:1080` for `ftp://` URLs.
|
|
* `http://foo:80` - Use proxy `http://foo:80` for all URLs.
|
|
* `http://foo:80,socks5://bar,direct://` - Use proxy `http://foo:80` for
|
|
all URLs, failing over to `socks5://bar` if `http://foo:80` is
|
|
unavailable, and after that using no proxy.
|
|
* `http=http://foo;socks5://bar` - Use proxy `http://foo` for `http://` URLs,
|
|
and use `socks5://bar` for all other URLs.
|
|
|
|
#### Proxy bypass rules
|
|
|
|
A comma-separated list of URIs. The URIs can be hostnames, IP address
|
|
literals, or IP ranges in CIDR notation. Hostnames can use the `*`
|
|
wildcard. Use `<local>` to match any of `127.0.0.1`, `::1`, or `localhost`.
