## Can I make my GoToSocial instance use a proxy (http, https, socks5) for outgoing requests?
Yes! GoToSocial supports canonical environment variables for doing this: `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY` and `NO_PROXY` (or the lowercase versions thereof). `HTTPS_PROXY` takes precedence over `HTTP_PROXY` for https requests.
The http client that GoToSocial uses will be initialized with the appropriate proxy.
The environment values may be either a complete URL or a `host[:port]`, in which case the "http" scheme is assumed. The schemes "http", "https", and "socks5" are supported.
