Body

I am using Visual Studio Code (latest version) and would like to configure a proxy specifically for the GitHub Copilot extension. How can I set up a proxy for Copilot without affecting VSCode's other network connections or enabling a global proxy (aka. the http.proxy in settings.json)?

You can set up a proxy for GitHub Copilot without affecting the rest of VSCode by configuring the proxy specifically for the Copilot extension through the settings.json file. Instead of globally enabling a proxy, add the following to your settings.json:
"github.copilot.proxy": "http://your-proxy-address:port"
This way, only Copilot will use the specified proxy, and it won’t interfere with other network connections in VSCode.
