Setup steps
- 1Open Preferences → General and find the Proxy section.
- 2Enable the HTTP/HTTPS proxy.
- 3Enter proxy.aethyn.io:2099 with embedded credentials.
- 4Switch targeting via the username suffix.
Code
Proxy configuration
Enable proxy : ON
HTTP Proxy : aethyn-XXXXX-country-us:PASSWORD@proxy.aethyn.io:2099
HTTPS Proxy : aethyn-XXXXX-country-us:PASSWORD@proxy.aethyn.io:2099Replace aethyn-XXXXX and PASSWORD with your dashboard credentials. See the full targeting reference and protocol/port list.
Tips
- The proxy is a global preference — disable it when not needed.
- Use a country suffix to compare API responses across regions.
- Combine with environments to switch endpoints quickly.
Insomnia proxy FAQ
Is the Insomnia proxy per-request?
No, it's a global preference. Toggle it off in Preferences when you want direct connections.
