@jelez for SSH we have #395 we it's being tracked.

@xiaozhu1337 could you give an real-world example so I can search more about your needs?

For some drivers socks connection are supported already, but I'm not sure if that's the proxy thing you are looking for

[gullpavon]

@mtxr An example would be when you're trying to connect to Snowflake (which requires connecting to somevaluehere.snowflakecomputing.com) from your company and in order to do so you need to use a proxy i.e. proxy.c.domain.com:8080 because you are behind a firewall.

+1 to this one.

Many organisations use mandatory proxy which means that you cannot connect without proxy support at all.

even though I have set proxy settings in my VSCODE, sqltools is not taking the proxy settings. It's very important as almost all the organization are behind a proxy for http/https access.
