AI coding tools

Proxy settings for terminal tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and Gemini CLI.

1 minUpdated 2026-10-15

AI tools in the terminal usually ignore the system PAC, so they need environment variables or TUN mode.

Claude Code

bash
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7898
claude
  • The Max (Residential) plan is recommended: Claude Code requests then take the residential line.
  • Don't switch exits often on the same account; CoderBoost's no-silent-fallback rule and node change quotas exist for exactly this reason.

OpenAI Codex CLI

bash
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7898
codex

Gemini CLI

bash
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7898
gemini

Others (Aider, OpenCode, vendor SDKs)

Almost every tool built on Python, Node.js, Go or Rust respects HTTPS_PROXY. For example, the Python SDKs:

python
# with the environment variable set, the openai / anthropic SDKs use the proxy automatically
import anthropic
client = anthropic.Anthropic()

Set it once with TUN

If you'd rather not set variables in every terminal, switch to TUN mode: AI domains on the list are taken over at the system level, including programs that ignore proxy variables.
