Use EntrExporter behind corporative proxy
I'm trying to automate the process via Azure DevOps, and I want to use a self-hosted agent but this one is behind a corporate proxy to navigate through internet, so I've been checking the automation from devops running the Entra-Exporter module and have been doing the tests, but the error I get is Unable to connect to the remote server, doing some troubleshooting is because the module is not pulling the traffic through the proxy, I was wondering if it is possible to somehow use Entra-Exporter via proxy. Otherwise I could not run it because it exceeds more than 60m export on an Azure agent and gives me timeout.
@merill there is any option to execute this with proxy?
The Microsoft\CSS-Exchange repo has a couple of great shared functions that help detect and negotiate proxy servers for their scripts. Check the ScriptUpdateFunctions folder for potential solutions in Invoke-WebRequestWithProxyDetection.ps1 and Confirm-ProxyServer.ps1. (I also like the model they built for scripts that check for newer versions!)
We use Graph PowerShell so the proxy support will need to come from there.
It looks like you can follow the general PowerShell options to set a proxy. See this blog post for options.

As a side note, if you can already connect to the Graph API on your own, you can skip the Connect-EntraExporter function and just run Export-Entra with your desired parameters.
