# Provisioning with Proxies

Proxy configurations can vary from operating system to operating system and in some cases it is necessary for these to be configured in the blueprint as a prerequisite. In other cases it can also be configured automatically. Mostly with the use of cloud-init (which all of our out of the box service catalog utilizes on all clouds). When editing/creating a cloud there is a setting for “Provisioning Proxy” in “Provisioning Options”. If this proxy is set, VM Essentials will automatically apply these proxy settings to the guest operating system.

Overriding proxy settings can also be done on the Network record. Networks (or subnets) can be configured in Infrastructure  >  Networks or on the Networks tab of the relevant Cloud detail page. Here, a proxy can also be assigned as well as additional options like the No Proxy rules for proxy exceptions.
