Hi All
As part of an ongoing effort to tighten the policies on the web proxy servers[1], I would like to deploy a change[2] that would inject a sane no_proxy environment variable into login sessions via systemd. This means traffic towards our own websites will not risk going through the proxy servers when a user manually sets the http(s)_proxy environment variable(s). It will improve resiliency, latency and load on the proxies, while reducing user overhead (as it’s a required manual action so far [3]).
No impact is expected.
I plan to deploy this Change next Monday 13th Feb at 12:00 UTC, if you have any concerns or questions please let me know either via email or on the change
Thanks John
