I have been helping my colleague try to get Rancher Desktop 1.8.1 (using moby/dockerd) working on her Windows 11 machine that is on a corporate network that requires a proxy to reach the Internet. We installed for all users on the machine. I was able to get it working when installing it as the Administrator and hacking the /etc/rc.conf file to add the following:
rc_env_allow="*"
export http_proxy=<http://myproxy.mycompany.com>
export https_proxy=<http://myproxy.mycompany.com>
export no_proxy=.<http://mycompanycorp.com|mycompanycorp.com>,.internal
Everything works fine except that the docker as a non-Administrative user fails. We did the Factory Reset, uninstalled, and reinstalled using a non-Administrative user and now,
docker version
works properly without errors when running as a non-Administrative user. However, the exact same /etc/rc.conf changes above do not appear to be working. Thoughts on how to correct this?

so proxy support is a bit messy especially on windows maybe we will see some things improve in 1.9 https://rancher-users.slack.com/archives/C0200L1N1MM/p1679910206972749

yes, we're looking into that as potentially helping in this scenario, so we're targeting that for 1.9.0.
