+# Global device proxy
+
+Global device proxy settings act as global environment variables on the Axis device. There are three
+types of global device proxies that can be configured; `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, and `NO_PROXY`.
+
+## Configure global device proxy
+
+Global device proxy can be set via either:
+
+- The VAPIX
+  [Network Settings API](https://developer.axis.com/vapix/network-video/network-settings-api#setglobalproxyconfiguration-1).
+- The network page at `http://<AXIS_DEVICE_IP>/index.html#system/network` and section
+  `Global proxies`.
+
+## How are ACAP applications affected?
+
+ACAP applications can be affected by global device proxy if they use the curl API or in any other
+way are able to pick up proxy from environment variables.
