# LuaRocks through a proxy
LuaRocks performs network access through either helper applications (typically
`curl` on macOS, or `wget` on other platforms), or using built-in modules
LuaSocket and LuaSec. All of them use the same method to configure proxies:
the `http_proxy`, `https_proxy` and `ftp_proxy` environment variables.
## Environment variable example
On Unix systems, you can set the `http_proxy` environment variable like
this:
export http_proxy=http://server:1234
On Windows systems, the command syntax is:
set http_proxy=http://server:1234
## Git
If you are behind a firewall that blocks the `git://` protocol, you may
configure your Git to use HTTPS instead. The solution is to tell Git to always
use HTTPS instead of `git://` by running the following command:
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
This adds the following to your `~/.gitconfig`:
[url "https://"]
insteadOf = git://
