Unable to Access Internet from Azure DevOps Server 2022 Self-Hosted Agent Behind Proxy

I am running Azure DevOps Server 2022 in an environment that uses a proxy to access the internet. Multiple projects depend on various Node packages. While I can successfully download these packages through a browser using the configured proxy, the issue occurs when running pipelines on a self-hosted agent.

The agent installation completes successfully, but the pipeline fails during execution, seemingly due to lack of internet access.

Is there a way to configure the proxy settings specifically for the self-hosted agent so that it can access the internet during pipeline runs?

    Yes, during the Agent configuration, when you run the agent configuration script (config.cmd or config.sh), you can pass proxy parameters:

    config.cmd --proxyurl http://your.proxy.server:port --proxyusername yourUsername --proxypassword yourPassword


    This ensures the agent itself can communicate with Azure DevOps and external services during setup and runtime.
