+# HTTPS Proxy
+
+If your network environment requires the use of a proxy, you must ensure proper configuration of the `httpsProxy`
+parameter when running `helm upgrade --install` command.
+
+```shell 
+# omitted "helm upgrade --install" command and parameters
+
+--set httpsProxy="https://secure.proxy.tld"
+```
+
+Additionally, you can specify URLs that should bypass the proxy, by setting the `noProxy` parameter in comma-separated 
+list format. Note that this parameter already has a default value: `kubernetes.default.svc.*,127.0.0.1,localhost`.
+
+Configuring proxy settings enables both `trivy` plugin and `zora-operator` to use the proxy for external requests.
+
+Zora OSS sends scan results to the following external URL if your installation is integrated with
+[Zora Dashboard](../dashboard.md):
+
+- `https://zora-dashboard.undistro.io`
+
+While [Trivy](../plugins/trivy.md) downloads vulnerability databases during scans from the following external sources:
+
+- `ghcr.io/aquasecurity/trivy-db` 
+- `ghcr.io/aquasecurity/trivy-java-db`
