title: Invoke-WebRequest Proxy Bypass
body: <p><strong>How to bypass the default proxy in Windows while accessing a locally accessible URL?</strong></p>
  
  <p>By default the Invoke-WebRequest powershell cmdlet is using the default proxy server. In my setup the proxy allows only certain URLs and the locally accessible URL is not in that list. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to bypass the proxy? I can add the URL to the proxy allowed list but I don't want to do that. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the attention.</p>
