WinHTTP setup for microsoft entra hybrid join

Hello,

We are doing the configuration of Microsoft Entra hybrid join as per the following link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/devices/how-to-hybrid-join

Since we are using proxy (setup in Windows settings > Network & Internet > Proxy > Manuary proxy setup), we are required to use WinHTTP as a documented for Microsoft Entra hybrid join setup in the link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/devices/how-to-hybrid-join#:~:text=If%20you%20don%27t%20use%20WPAD%2C%20you%20can%20configure%20WinHTTP%20proxy%20settings%20on%20your%20computer%20with%20a%20Group%20Policy%20Object%20(GPO)%20beginning%20with%20Windows%2010%201709.%20For%20more%20information%2C%20see%20WinHTTP%20Proxy%20Settings%20deployed%20by%20GPO.

It directs to another link on how to configure WinHTTP via GPO: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/netgeeks/winhttp-proxy-settings-deployed-by-gpo

When i run this example command locally on a PC as follows,
netsh winhttp set proxy proxy.contoso.com:8080 "localhost;*.contoso.com"
this should set the proxy to "proxy.contoso.com:8080" and bypass the "localhost;*.contoso.com".

I want to know whether we have to also bypass the microsoft links as mentioned in the network requirements in this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/devices/how-to-hybrid-join#network-connectivity-requirements:~:text=https%3A//enterpriseregistration.windows,federated%20domains)

Or we just need to bypass the local addresses of the network?

Please guide. Thanks.
