Every big company in the world uses a network proxy. LM Studio, as far as I can tell, cannot be configured to work behind such proxies.

It's becoming more rare, now.

A lot of the universal truths about corporate networks from the early 2000s are no longer true today. Some companies are stuck in their ways though.

The overlap between companies that require someone to use a network proxy and companies that have GPU-equipped machines with enough RAM for LLMs and and that allow people to download and run executables of their choosing has to be small.

    I would love to see more data on that because I've seen it constantly. There is more isolation maybe where you can do whatever on 'open' network, but always some kind of proxy/vpn connection for hitting anything sensitive.

    The operlap is there.. But I would be worried if it was just flat out taken away from secure managed connections just because of AI.. Again, would love to see the numbers of your assumptions.

Woa TIL. I thought that was somehow long solved at the OS level or with VPNs or something like that (no idea exactly how, I'm sure just I'm misunderstanding something basic).

Makes it rather weird that LM Studio doesn't support it given how their target market, or well at least for their paid products, is very enterprisey.
