CLI Proxy Support
Introduction
What is a Proxy?
On any computing device, the ability to redirect a request through an intermediate connection to a remote resource over a LAN or WAN is what is defined as a proxy. This proxy functions as an intermediary relay between systems that evaluates the communication and passes it along to perform the requested transactions.
