Network

Anthracode supports standard proxy environment variables and custom certificates for enterprise network environments.

Proxy

Anthracode respects standard proxy environment variables.

# HTTPS proxy (recommended)
export HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy.example.com:8080

# HTTP proxy (if HTTPS not available)
export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080

# Bypass proxy for local server (required)
export NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1

Caution

The TUI communicates with a local HTTP server. You must bypass the proxy for this connection to prevent routing loops.

You can configure the server’s port and hostname using CLI flags.

---

Authenticate

If your proxy requires basic authentication, include credentials in the URL.

export HTTPS_PROXY=http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080

Caution

Avoid hardcoding passwords. Use environment variables or secure credential storage.

For proxies requiring advanced authentication like NTLM or Kerberos, consider using an LLM Gateway that supports your authentication method.

Custom certificates

If your enterprise uses custom CAs for HTTPS connections, configure Anthracode to trust them.

export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/path/to/ca-cert.pem

This works for both proxy connections and direct API access.
