Examples of using rclone with proxies in Windows 10

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hi,

are there any examples of using rclone with proxies in Windows 10? According to the manual a variable shall be used (export). Can I avoid that?

As per docs:

Can I use rclone with an HTTP proxy?

Yes. rclone will follow the standard environment variables for proxies, similar to cURL and other programs.

In general the variables are called http_proxy (for services reached over http) and https_proxy (for services reached over https). Most public services will be using https, but you may wish to set both.

environment variables are the only way today to use proxy.

I think it is as easy to use with Windows as with any other OS. You do not have to set them globally but only from within your wrapper script.

Windows proxy with user/password

Unable to use proxy in Windows with Onedrive remote

i just did a test to confirm, rclone does support socks5 proxy. the documentation might need a tweak, to make that clear with an example. set https_proxy=socks5://10.8.0.1:1080 well known in the forum, onedrive is one of the slowest providers. what was the max bandwidth upload you got?

I’ll try it out but how to escape the proxy?

Do not configure proxy variables globally but only for your rclone command or wrapper script. Google will tell you how.

This is not rclone problem but windows scripting one.
