# Configure the engine to use a web proxy

Proxy settings can be configured in an engine by adding them as an engine configuration.

{% hint style="info" %}
You need to [configure Docker](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/systemd/#httphttps-proxy) to use a proxy. When using a BlueCoat proxy, ensure you encode the values correctly.
{% endhint %}

1. On the machine on which you installed the engine, navigate to the `d1.conf` file and add the following keys.

   | Key           | Value                                                                                                                                        | Description                                                                                 |
   | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | `http_proxy`  | <p><code>http\://\`\`\<user:password\@proxy-server:port#></code></p><p>For example <code><http://user:password@proxy-server:3128></code></p> | Environment uses HTTP proxy. Special characters must be escaped.                            |
   | `https_proxy` | <p><code>https\://\`\`user:password\@proxy-server:port#</code></p><p>For example, <code><https://user:password@proxy-server:3128></code></p> | Environment uses HTTPS proxy. Special characters must be escaped.                           |
   | `no_proxy`    | <p><code>http\://\`\`\<user:password\@proxy-server:port#></code></p><p>For example <code><http://user:password@proxy-server:3128></code></p> | For specific addresses, a proxy bypass will be applied. Special characters must be escaped. |
2. If the environment variables are not set, or you wish to use different settings than those specified in the environment variables, set the configuration with your specific proxy details in the **`d1.conf`** file. For example:

   ```programlisting
   {"http_proxy": "http://proxy.host.local:8080",
   "https_proxy": "https://proxy.host.local:8443"
   "no_proxy": "https://proxy.host.local:8020"}
   ```
3. Save the file.
4. On the machine where you installed the engine, navigate to the `upgrade.conf` file and edit the file to set `https_proxy` to your proxy address. For example, `https_proxy="https://proxy.host.local:8443"`.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>In an environment with a single engine, go to <code>/usr/local/demisto/upgrade.conf</code>. In an environment with multiple engines, go to <code>/usr/local/demisto/&#x3C;engine-name>/upgrade.conf</code>, replacing &#x3C;engine-name> with the name of the engine.</p><p>Note that the key is in the <code>upgrade.conf</code> file and must be <code>https_proxy</code>, even if your proxy address starts with <code>http://</code>.</p></div>
5. Save the file.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-runtime-security/cases-and-issues/investigation-and-response/automation/engines/configure-engines/configure-the-engine-to-use-a-web-proxy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
