Normally, the application will follow your system settings to use a proxy, or you can set up a proxy by the following command line options.
--proxy-server=<SERVER>:<PORT>
--proxy-pac-url=<URL>
On Windows, please make sure to add --
before options. For example, Mattermost.exe -- --proxy-server=...
.
Our docs provide a guide on how to customize and distribute your own Mattermost Desktop App, including how to distribute the official Windows Desktop App silently to end users, pre-configured with the server URL and other app settings.
