# Proxy Settings Note

Edit - 2019.09.16

Add/Edit Git section.
Add command for NPM proxy
Fix typo

There are so many different system or tool configs to set if you are behind a proxy. This article simply note where and how to set them.

I will use these settings for the following example:

Proxy Host: host
Proxy Port: 3128
Proxy User: username
Proxy Password: password

WARNING

You need to URL encode your username or password if special characters contains.
i.g. whitespace = %20, & = %26, etc...
