Some organizations use a web proxy, which is an intermediary server between users and the internet resource they’re requesting. Organizations use web proxies for several reasons, including security, privacy, and network efficiency.
If you are deploying Unity in an environment that requires internet access through a web proxy, you might need to configure the web proxy, client computers, or both.
Starting with Unity Editor 2023.1, the automatic proxy configuration feature lets you use Unity applications seamlessly when they need to communicate through a web proxy. Unity applications can communicate with the web proxy without interruption and without installing additional software. The amount of configuration required varies, depending on the following factors:
The first factor that requires configuration is if your web proxy uses SSL inspection. If your enterprise uses SSL inspection, check if you can configure client computers to use environment variables and trust web proxy certificates:
Then, consider the other factors and choose the solution that matches your environment:
