Request to add http socks proxy as built-in feature

[LanestIo]

In a restricted network (mostly in company), obsidian cannot connect to Internet. In this case, Sync feature won’t work, plugins cannot download / update. Proposed solution


Add proxy settings as a built-in feature to allow ==http/socks5 proxy== to update plugins and sync. Current workaround (optional)


No workaround:

• Using OS proxy is NOT a workaround as it mess up all other running applications in the system (Windows).
• Obsidian even doesn’t support http_proxy env variable in Linux.

This feature is requested many times, you CANNOT just ignore it forever!!

Hi, I’m working on a PC with restricted internet connection. So I’m not able to connect to my account without using proxy. It will be great if Obsidian supports proxy in the future.

Things I have tried I am running obsidian using the appimage on MX-Linux (Debian stable). I have the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables set (including the username and password for the proxy). What I’m trying to do I expect that there would be some way to allow obsidian to connect to internet for downloading updates / checking community plugins. But unfortunately it doesn’t seem to pick the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variable, which is a standard practice in the othe…

I am an insider and my copy of Obsidian is not auto updating. I am at version .74. I have followed the instructions for auto updating. I have the auto update turned on andI am signed in.

any proxy really setting (https) in Obsidian… at the least honor https_proxy environment variable… Love the product, paying member, but this is a big negative in my workflow/environment.

Adding built-in proxy support would really help users behind firewalls or with privacy needs. In the meantime, you can check out datacenter proxy solutions on this page for a workaround.
