Working with a proxy

Casper Thule edited this page Feb 5, 2018 · 1 revision

You cannot currently set any proxy information inside the app.

Fortunately, electron can pick up proxy settings from the following environment variables: http_proxy, https_proxy. There are many ways to set these variables, depending on the OS:

  • on windows, you can use the Environment Variables dialog
  • on *nix, you can use export in your .bashrc files.

If you don't want to set the proxy globally, the easiest thing to do is to wrap the INTO app in a launcher script. An example for windows users is bellow:

set http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:[port]
set https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:[port]
into-cps-app-2.0.0.exe  (adjust executable name)

The same thing works if you are developing on the app. Just set the proxy variables before running npm start.
