# Proxy settings

We highly recommend excluding all traffic to Microsoft 365 from proxy usage. For more details, please have a look at [Microsoft's network connectivity principles](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/microsoft-365-network-connectivity-principles?view=o365-worldwide).

However, KONNEKT is using the proxy settings of the Windows OS. If a proxy server is set, KONNEKT will use this proxy server.

In detail, KONNEKT calls [`WinHttpGetProxyForUrl`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winhttp/nf-winhttp-winhttpgetproxyforurl) with the URI `https://graph.microsoft.com` to examine, if a proxy must be used.

{% hint style="success" %}
To bypass your proxy server with traffic from KONNEKT, please make sure, that Windows OS will exclude the URI `https://graph.microsoft.com` from proxy usage.

You may do this by putting this URI on the exclude list in your proxy PAC file.

You should also make sure, that the KONNEKT client can reach [Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and SharePoint Online](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges?view=o365-worldwide) without being interfered by proxy servers or other application layer gateways (ALG).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
KONNEKT can use proxy servers. However, we offer limited support for clients that are experiencing network connectivity-related issues while connecting to Microsoft 365 via proxy server or other application layer gateways (ALG).
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.konnekt.io/configuration/other/proxy-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
