# Task 5. (Optional) Configure proxy settings

When a proxy is configured in Cortex XSOAR, the system by default routes internal node-to-node communication and other internal traffic through that configured proxy. If you do not configure a proxy, the system uses standard network routing and DNS resolution.

If you want to use a proxy, define the proxy address and port settings. The proxy can be set at any point, during Cortex XSOAR deployment or at a later stage.

If you do not want to use a proxy, you must explicitly list the relevant internal IP addresses or FQDNs in the No Proxy field. You should then verify the internal DNS correctly resolves these addresses for direct connections.

1. From the textual UI menu, select Proxy Configuration.
2. Configure the following settings.
   * Proxy Protocol: Choose HTTP or HTTPS.
   * Proxy Address
   * Proxy Port
   * Proxy User: If using an authenticated proxy, enter the user name.
   * Proxy Password If using an authenticated proxy, enter the password.
   * No Proxy

     Specify a comma-separated list of domains, IP addresses, or network ranges that should bypass the proxy.

     Example 1: Bypass the proxy for the following IPs and domain:

     * IP address: **`1.1.1.1`**
     * domain: **`example.com`**
     * IP range: **`10.0.0.0/8`**

     Set the No Proxy field to: **`1.1.1.1,example.com,10.0.0.0/8`**

     Example 2: Bypass the proxy for the following MSSP IPs and domains:

     * Main tenant IP: **`192.168.100.1`**
     * Main tenant FQDN: **`xsoarmain.svc.mydomain.com`**
     * Child tenant IP: **`192.168.100.2`**
     * Child tenant FQDN: **`xsoarhost.svc.mydomain.com`**

     Set the No Proxy field to: **`192.168.100.1,192.168.100.2,.svc.mydomain.com`**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.11/onboard-cortex-xsoar/cortex-xsoar-installation/install-cortex-xsoar-on-a-vm-deployed-on-oci/task-5.-optional-configure-proxy-settings.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.
