To access internal resources while still allowing VS Code to download updates, plugins, and connect to LLM providers, I rely heavily on environment variables like <code>https_proxy</code> and <code>no_proxy</code>.</p> <p>However, I ran into a frustrating roadblock: A specific VS Code plugin I needed for my daily work consistently <strong>ignored the <code>no_proxy</code> variable</strong> but strictly enforced <code>https_proxy</code>. This caused internal connections to fail because the plugin tried to route them through the corporate proxy, which couldn&rsquo;t see our internal network.</p>
