HTTP(S) Proxy

Insomnia does not automatically detect system-wide proxy settings but a proxy can be set up manually if needed. From the settings menu, set the HTTP Proxy and/or HTTPS Proxy to the location of your proxy server and all future requests will be rerouted.

Authentication

If your proxy needs authentication, you can include the credentials in the URL.

http://username:password@localhost:8005
