? W hen using the CloudBase CLI, you need your terminal to be able to access the network. If your terminal does not have direct access to the public network, you can set up an HTTP proxy to enable the CLI to function http_proxy or HTTP_PROXY environment variables and automatically set up the network proxy service.

For example, you can run the following command in the terminal to set up http://127.0.0.1:8000 through the proxy service http://127.0.0.1:8000 of the server:

 export HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8000
