PowerShell 7 on Windows System proxy settings Proxy could be configured by setting both HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables, plus optional NO_PROXY.
PowerShell 7 on macOS System proxy settings Proxy could be configured by setting both HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables, plus optional NO_PROXY.
PowerShell 7 on Linux Set both HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables, plus optional NO_PROXY The environment variables should be set before starting PowerShell, otherwise they may not be respected.

The environment variables used are:

  • HTTP_PROXY: the proxy server used on HTTP requests.
  • HTTPS_PROXY: the proxy server used on HTTPS requests.
  • NO_PROXY: a comma-separated list of hostnames that should be excluded from proxying.

On systems where environment variables are case-sensitive, the variable names may be all lowercase or all uppercase. The lowercase names are checked first.
