# Configure Proxy Settings
Proxy settings can be configured globally in Cortex XSOAR by adding them as server configurations.
{% hint style="info" %}
### Note
Generally, when you need a proxy for Cortex XSOAR, you also need a proxy for Docker or Podman. When using a BlueCoat proxy, ensure you encode the values correctly.
{% endhint %}
**Configure a Proxy for Docker**
For information about how to configure Docker to use a proxy, see the [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/systemd/#httphttps-proxy).
1. Select Settings → About → Troubleshooting → **Add Server Configuration**.
2. Add one of the following keys and values.
| Key | Value | Description |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **`http_proxy`** | [http://user:password@prox-server:port#](https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/proxy/http:/user:password@prox-server:port#)
For example,
| Environment uses http proxy. Special characters must be escaped. |
| **`https_proxy`** | [https://user:password@prox-server:port#](https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/proxy/https:/user:password@prox-server:port#)
For example,
| Environment uses https proxy. Special characters must be escaped. |
| **`host.proxy`** | true | Multi-tenant host proxy: Host uses proxy to connect to the main account. |
| **`accounts.http.proxy`** | false | Multi-tenant accounts http proxy: Prevents communication from main account to tenants from going through proxy. |
| **`accounts.http.websocket.proxy`** | false | Multi-tenant accounts http websocket proxy: Prevents main account from using proxy for websockets forwarding to tenants. |
3. Click Save.
4. In the CLI, run **`/reset_containers`** for the new proxy settings to take effect.
**Configure a Proxy for Podman**
1. Select Settings → About → Troubleshooting → **Add Server Configuration**.
2. Add one of the following keys and values.
| Key | Value | Description |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |

## 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/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/proxy/configure-proxy-settings.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
