Network Settings
Configure proxy servers and TLS certificates in Settings → General. Both sections are collapsible — they stay collapsed until you configure them.
Proxy
Route all HTTP requests through an HTTP or HTTPS proxy. Useful for corporate networks, VPNs, or debugging tools.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Proxy URL | The proxy server address, e.g. http://proxy.corp.com:8080 |
| Username | Optional — for proxy servers that require authentication |
| Password | Optional — stored encrypted at rest |
| No Proxy | Comma-separated list of hosts that bypass the proxy |
No Proxy patterns:
- Exact hostname:
localhost - Wildcard prefix:
*.local(matchesfoo.local,bar.local) - Domain suffix:
.corp.com(matchesapi.corp.com,internal.corp.com) - Match all:
*(disables proxy for everything — useful for temporary bypass)
NOTE
Proxy applies to all HTTP requests (API calls, GraphQL introspection, vault API). WebSocket connections do not currently use the proxy.
Certificates
Configure custom CA certificates and client certificates for mutual TLS (mTLS).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| CA Certificate | Trust a custom certificate authority (PEM format) |
| Client Certificate | PEM certificate for mTLS client authentication |
| Client Key | PEM private key for the client certificate |
| Key Passphrase | Optional passphrase for an encrypted private key |
Click Browse to select a certificate file. Vaxtly accepts .pem, .crt, .cer, .key, .p12, and .pfx files.
TIP
The CA Certificate field is dimmed when Verify SSL is off (in the Requests section above). Custom CA certificates only apply when SSL verification is enabled.
How it works:
- The CA certificate is added to the trust chain, so Vaxtly accepts servers signed by that CA
- Client certificate + key are sent to servers that require mTLS authentication
- Client certificates are sent regardless of the Verify SSL setting (mTLS is about client identity, separate from server verification)
WARNING
If a configured certificate file is moved or deleted, requests will fail with a descriptive error. Use the Clear button to remove stale paths.
Clearing Settings
Each section shows a Clear button when any value is configured. This removes all proxy or certificate settings at once, returning to default behavior.
