Request to add http socks proxy as built-in feature

Feature requests

Built-in proxy features or plugins like SwitchyOmega in Chrome would be very helpful.

I faced the same problem as @skywind3000 mentioned.

In my country, accessing GitHub without a proxy is not possible, so I have to toggle on the global proxy, browse and download community plugins, and then turn off the global proxy. It’s a bit inconvenient.

I don’t use the global proxy all the time because proxies are charged by traffic.

In Windows OS, the command below doesn’t seem to work for me:

C:\Users\ddyyll\AppData\Local\Obsidian\Obsidian.exe --proxy-server=socks5://localhost:1080

Also, how can I set a proxy without affecting the global proxy setting on Android or iPad OS apps?

Try something like this:

C:\Users\123\AppData\Local\Programs\obsidian\Obsidian.exe --proxy-server="http://127.0.0.1:1080"

Will this feature request be considered again?

Configure proxy in command line is not friendly for users, it should be configure via UI.
I think it’s needed by users in internet-restrict countries(Like Iraq/China/Russia…)

Uh, any news for this FR?

Adding built-in proxy support would really help users behind firewalls or with privacy needs.

I signed up for this forum just to add my plea that built-in proxy settings be added. Please understand that this will make using Obsidian much easier for many users.

How would you tell it to ignore the system proxy in a Mac? My employer pushed a proxy configuration to my workstation.

I’m looking for a way to tell obsidian to ignore it and go straight to the Internet.

update;
Nm . I set the proxy equal to nothing/blank and that worked. I can sync again!
