VS Code / Cursor / JetBrains

Proxy settings for editors, extension marketplaces and AI plugins.

1 minUpdated 2026-10-15

In PAC mode, VS Code and Cursor usually pick up the system proxy automatically. If extension installs or AI plugins are still slow, set it explicitly.

VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf

settings.json:

json
{
  "http.proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:7898",
  "http.proxySupport": "override"
}

Extensions such as GitHub Copilot, Cline and Continue use the editor's proxy settings.

Remote - SSH / Dev Containers

In remote development, extensions run on the remote machine and do not use your local proxy. You can:

  • install CoderBoost (Linux version) on the remote machine as well; or
  • use SSH reverse port forwarding to offer your local proxy to the remote machine:
bash
ssh -R 7898:127.0.0.1:7898 user@remote-host
# on the remote machine
export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7898

JetBrains (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, GoLand…)

Settings → Appearance & Behavior → System Settings → HTTP Proxy:

  • choose Auto-detect proxy settings (recommended in PAC mode), or
  • Manual proxy configuration: HTTP, host 127.0.0.1, port 7898.
