Hi, Is there a way to config proxy for Local? I came from China and my wp site by Local can’t send request to some sites like youtube, google and twitter etc.

BTW: I purchased a VPS and installed shadowsocks, but I don’t know how to setup it in Local.

Hi @cloudstone,

Have you tried using a VPN to route all of your traffic including VirtualBox’s?

As far as a proxy goes, I’ve never set one up with Docker. This might help though: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/24498835](https://stackoverflow.com/a/24498835)

You can access the Docker Machine SSH by running the following in Terminal:

```auto
"/Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/virtual-machine/vendor/docker/osx/docker-machine" ssh local-by-flywheel

```
