ai-proxy-rules: Route Only OpenAI and Claude Through Your Proxy

When you use Claude Code or call the OpenAI API from somewhere these services aren’t reachable directly, the easy fix is to switch your proxy to global mode. But then local sites, your company intranet and package downloads all take the detour too, so they get slower and sometimes break. The only traffic that actually needs the proxy is a few dozen AI domains. So I put together a rule set that covers just OpenAI and Claude. Those domains go through the proxy, and everything else stays direct. ...

Claude Desktop over SSH: Giving the Remote Claude Its Own Proxy

The Code tab in Claude Desktop can add an SSH connection and run Claude Code on a remote server. The app uploads the program to the server itself and takes care of authentication, so you don’t need to install Claude on the server or sign in there. The catch: if the server’s outbound connection can’t reach Anthropic (a server in a region Anthropic doesn’t serve, such as Hong Kong, gets refused), or you want to pin it to a specific egress, the remote Claude can’t send its requests. The fix is to give Claude on the server its own proxy. It only affects Claude and leaves the rest of the machine’s networking alone. ...
