Configure an upstream proxy — When changes take effect
The two kinds of traffic are resolved at different times Sandbox scope (proxy.sandbox, no_proxy.sandbox, and the sandbox side of proxy and no_proxy) is re-resolved every time a sandbox is created or restarted.

The two kinds of traffic are resolved at different times
Sandbox scope (proxy.sandbox, no_proxy.sandbox, and the sandbox side of proxy and no_proxy) is re-resolved every time a sandbox is created or restarted. A change takes effect on the next sandbox you create or restart; already-running sandboxes keep the proxy they were created with. Daemon scope (proxy.daemon, no_proxy.daemon, and the daemon side of proxy and no_proxy) is resolved once when the daemon starts. A change requires a daemon restart.
The DOCKER_SANDBOXES_ environment variables are a separate case. They control sandbox traffic only, as described in Environment variables, but sbx reads them from the daemon's environment as the daemon starts, so changing one also requires a daemon restart.
When a system or PAC proxy is in use, sbx still tracks OS-level proxy changes (such as switching networks, connecting a VPN, or updated PAC contents) live.
