Configure Proxy Settings
Anypoint Studio allows you to configure proxy configurations for when your computer is behind a proxy server and needs to connect to the internet to download plugins and install updates.
Anypoint Studio only supports configurations for non-authenticated proxies.

Open the preferences view in the manner appropriate to your OS:
-
In MacOS, either navigate to Anypoint Studio > Preferences… or press
cmd + ,
. -
In Windows and Linux, navigate to Window > Preferences….
-
-
Under General select Network Connections.

Select your Active Provider:

-

-
-
Click the Edit button when selecting the proxy entry for each schema to configure its host and port number.
If necessary, you can add bypasses to your proxy. This is a list of hosts that should not use any proxy.
Click Add Host… to add hostnames to your proxy bypass list.
Keep in mind that when setting a manual provider, you should not disable the default localhost and 127.0.0.1 bypasses. Otherwise the embedded Mule Runtime within Studio won’t be able to reach your developing application.
When applying changes to your proxy settings, Anypoint Studio restarts the Mule instance used to obtain metadata and test outbound connections. If this fails, manually restart your instance by going to Preferences > Tooling, and clicking Restart Instance.
