Why use our proxies with VS Code

Static ISP-Virgin IP

Enables extension downloads and updates behind firewalls

VS Code proxies are essential when you're working in corporate or school networks that restrict direct internet access. Proper config ensures smooth extension installs, Git access, and settings sync.

Static ISP-Virgin IP

Supports authenticated proxies and CLI tools

VS Code can pass proxy credentials for HTTP/HTTPS access. This also enables tools like npm, git, and other CLI tools inside VS Code’s terminal to function behind a proxy when properly exported.

Static ISP-Virgin IP

Compatible with IPv4 and IPv6 proxies

RapidSeedbox proxies work seamlessly with VS Code, whether you’re using IPv4 for standard environments or IPv6 for high-IP volume setups, especially during automated builds or CI/CD integrations.

How to use a proxy in Visual Studio Code

1. Set proxy in VS Code settings.json

Open Command Palette > Preferences: Open Settings (JSON) and add: "http.proxy": "http://username:password@proxy_ip:port", "https.proxyStrictSSL": false This allows VS Code extensions and built-in tools to access the internet through your proxy.

2. Configure system environment variables

If your terminal or extensions still can’t reach the network, set environment variables: export HTTP_PROXY=http://username:password@proxy_ip:port export HTTPS_PROXY=http://username:password@proxy_ip:port Add these to your shell config file (.bashrc, .zshrc) to persist across sessions.

3. Test and troubleshoot extension and Git access

Try installing an extension from the VS Code Marketplace or running a Git command from the terminal. If errors persist, make sure your proxy does not require NTLM or complex authentication types unsupported by VS Code natively.

FAQ

Most of your questions have been answered, for any further questions please contact us.

Does VS Code auto-detect system proxy settings?

Not always. It's best to set the proxy manually in settings.json and export system variables for CLI access within VS Code.

Can I use an authenticated proxy in VS Code?

Yes. Use the format http://username:password@ip:port in the settings. Be cautious - your credentials are stored in plaintext in settings.json.

What if extensions won’t install even with a proxy set?

Make sure proxyStrictSSL is set to false and check if your proxy requires NTLM auth, which VS Code doesn’t natively support. Use a proxy that supports basic auth instead.

Does this proxy config apply to the terminal inside VS Code?

Only if environment variables are set. The settings.json proxy config is for the UI and extensions - terminal tools need proxy exported via environment vars.

Can I use IPv6 proxies in VS Code?

Yes, if your system supports IPv6 routing and the proxy URL is properly formatted. Tools like curl, npm, and git also need IPv6-aware configuration.
