Configure your proxy settings

If you are using the BrowserStack SDK, add the following snippet to your browserstack.yml file:

browserStackLocalOptions:
  proxyHost: 127.0.0.1
  proxyPort: 8000

If your proxy requires authentication, use the following code snippet:

browserStackLocalOptions:
  proxyHost: 127.0.0.1
  proxyPort: 8000
  proxyUser: user
  proxyPass: password

Add the following snippet to your test scripts:

bsLocalArgs.put("proxyHost", "127.0.0.1");
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyPort", "8000");

If your proxy requires authentication, use the following code snippet:

bsLocalArgs.put("proxyHost", "127.0.0.1");
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyPort", "8000");
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyUser", "user");
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyPass", "password");

Use the --proxy-host and --proxy-port flags while establishing a Local Testing connection:

Run the binary using the following command:

./BrowserStackLocal --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --proxy-host  --proxy-port

BrowserStackLocal.exe --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --proxy-host  --proxy-port

If your proxy requires authentication, add --proxy-user and --proxy-pass to the above command.

Run the binary using the following command:

./BrowserStackLocal --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --proxy-host  --proxy-port  --proxy-user --proxy-pass

BrowserStackLocal.exe --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --proxy-host  --proxy-port  --proxy-user --proxy-pass

To resolve all requests on our remote browsers and mobile devices through your proxy, add --force-proxy and --force-local flags to the command. Without these flags, Local binary tries to connect directly for better performance.

Add the following snippet to your browserstack.yml file:

browserStackLocalOptions:
  localProxyHost: 127.0.0.1
  localProxyPort: 8000

If your proxy requires authentication, use the following code snippet:

browserStackLocalOptions:
  localProxyHost: 127.0.0.1
  localProxyPort: 8000
  -localProxyUser: user
  -localProxyPass: password

Add the following snippet to your test scripts:

bsLocalArgs.put("localProxyHost", "127.0.0.1");
bsLocalArgs.put("localProxyPort", "8000");

If your proxy requires authentication, use the following code snippet:

bsLocalArgs.put("localProxyHost", "127.0.0.1");
bsLocalArgs.put("localProxyPort", "8000");
bsLocalArgs.put("-localProxyUser", "user");
bsLocalArgs.put("-localProxyPass", "password");

Use the following command to establish the Local Testing connection:

Run the binary using the following command:

./BrowserStackLocal --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --local-proxy-host <proxy_host> --local-proxy-port <proxy_port> 

BrowserStackLocal.exe --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --local-proxy-host <proxy_host> --local-proxy-port <proxy_port>

If your local proxy requires authentication, add --local-proxy-user and --local-proxy-pass to the above command.

./BrowserStackLocal --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --local-proxy-host <proxy_host> --local-proxy-port <proxy_port> --force-proxy --force-local

BrowserStackLocal.exe --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --local-proxy-host <proxy_host> --local-proxy-port <proxy_port> --force-proxy --force-local

To resolve all requests on our remote browsers and mobile devices through your local proxy, add --force-proxy and --force-local flags to the command as demonstrated. Without these flags, Local binary tries to connect directly for enhanced performance.
