This is a request for Cognite to make all of their applications Proxy Aware, allowing enterprise organizations to specify a proxy that will be used for all traffic.

@Knut Vidvei or @Hunter Beck could you add some insight here into upcoming plans and/or recommended setup for the applications?

Hi all! 

Just some brief updates on this based on a few conversations: 

  1. General best-practice for web applications based on our engineering team is leveraging browser-based proxy settings as @Eira Monstad mentioned above. As of today, this is the only planned mechanism for supporting proxies for InField, Maintain, and Fusion.
  2. However, as mentioned, we do have one web application that uses UDP - InRobot. However, I’ve been informed by the team that there is a fallback to TCP, so that should circumvent the issue. You should be able to test out connection by visiting: https://networktest.twilio.com/ And here are our firewall configs can be found here: https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/admin/allowlist/
  3. For the Remote desktop application does not have a mechanism for configuring a proxy. However, this application is scheduled to be sunset on June 30, 2024 (per this notice and as discussed in a few different release forums). We have brought most of the major features and workflows already into the new Cognite Search, and this is really the future home of the workflows done in Remote as of today. 

I hope that helps to clarify, and per the above, we’ll close this feature request. However, if you test the above and find that something does not work as expected, please feel free to comment on this idea, and we’ll do further assessment. 

Best Regards, 

Hunter Beck
