Ok, not going to lie, this might be a bit of a dumb question.

I’m using OpenSSL version 3.0.8 on a CentOS 7 VMWare VM.

I know that I can use it through a proxy like so:

openssl s_client -proxy myproxyinfo:1234 -connect website/on-otherside-of/proxy:443

What I’m trying to figure out is whether there is a way to have openssl use either the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable or modify the openssl.cnf to use the specific proxy for EVERY connection attempt?

I’m not sure if this can be done, I’ve tried looking online and haven’t turned anything other than the ‘-proxy’ flag up.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
