Enter the proxy (either Windows Proxy or Linux Proxy, as is appropriate.) For example, 

http://133.133.133.152

. 

Include the port number, if that is how you have set up your enviroment; for example: 

http://133.133.133.152:8080.

In the Proxy Bypass box, enter one or many exceptions. You can enter them as URLs or as IP addresses. They must 
be separated by semi-colons (;) or the system will not parse them correctly.

While there is a field for the proxy bypass for Windows, this feature does not actually function. At this time, 

Microsoft Windows does not accept a proxy bypass.

Enter the Bootstrap User name and the Bootstrap Password.

Click Submit.

Set up the Linux Proxy if you are testing Chef 12.0.x with a remote repository to which you may need to use a
