## Package Information

We use the [global-agent](https://www.npmjs.com/package/global-agent) package to manage HTTP proxies.

This package allows you to configure global HTTP/HTTPS proxies for your Node.js application. It is particularly useful when you need to route all outgoing HTTP and HTTPS requests through a proxy server. This can be beneficial for scenarios such as bypassing network restrictions, logging, or adding an extra layer of security.

```
