Exceptions for Proxy Settings
As an Systems Engineer managing PRTG in an enterprise environment with proxy requirements,
I want to configure proxy exceptions (bypass list) for specific IP addresses, DNS names, or subnets in PRTG's proxy settings,
So that local network connections (such as notification delivery to local SMS servers or HTTP requests to internal systems) bypass the proxy and route directly, improving reliability and reducing unnecessary proxy overhead while still routing internet-bound traffic through the proxy.
Right now when you setup a proxy in the PRTG UI server settings, the proxy gets used for every connection made from the PRTG server. Which is great for connecting to the internet for support cases or HTTP checks. However, when you use local IP addresses in the notification templates or local IP's in the SMS server settings, the requests are also routed through the proxy. Even if the IP's are in the same subnet as the PRTG core server. In windows, when configuring a proxy, you have the option to exclude IP's or DNS's.
