+#### Publishing from behind a proxy
+
+For users attempting to publish TechDocs content behind a proxy, the TechDocs CLI leverages `global-agent` to navigate the proxy to successfully connect to that location. To enable `global-agent`, the following variables need to be set prior to running the techdocs-cli command:
+
+```bash
+export GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY=${HTTP_PROXY}
+export GLOBAL_AGENT_NO_PROXY=${NO_PROXY}
+```

 ### Using an example docs project
 
 For the purpose of local development, we have created an example documentation project. You are of course also free to create your own local test site - all it takes is a `docs/index.md` and an `mkdocs.yml` in a directory.
