+### Proxy configuration
 
-A proxy for ChangeDetection.io can be configured by setting environment the 
-`HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY` variables, examples are also in the `docker-compose.yml`
-
-`NO_PROXY` exclude list can be specified by following `"localhost,192.168.0.0/24"`
-
-as `docker run` with `-e`
-
-```
-docker run -d --restart always -e HTTPS_PROXY="socks5h://10.10.1.10:1080" -p "127.0.0.1:5000:5000" -v datastore-volume:/datastore --name changedetection.io dgtlmoon/changedetection.io
-```
-
-With `docker-compose`, see the `Proxy support example` in <a href="https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/blob/master/docker-compose.yml">docker-compose.yml</a>.

-For more information see https://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#proxies
