The Best Practices Analyzer tool for Team Foundation Server queries the registry to determine whether URL requests for local resources are routed through the proxy server. The tool queries the BypassProxyOnLocal entries for HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. An information message appears if either of the keys is configured and set to true.

By default, these entries are not configured, and all URL requests are routed through a proxy server. If the entries are configured and set to true, a URL request is routed through the proxy server only if the requested resource is outside the organization's intranet. If the resource is inside the organization's intranet, the request is not routed through the proxy server. In these local requests, the URI does not contain a period (.). For example, a browser entry of http://webserver/ would not be routed through the proxy server. However, a browser entry of https://www.microsoft.com would.

If either of these keys is configured and set to true, you should try to determine the reason before you decide whether to restore the default behavior. In some cases, organizations configure these entries to avoid a particular problem.

For example, some organizations configure Internet Explorer to use an automatic configuration script. However, this configuration can cause Visual Studio to stop responding when you run a query in Team Explorer. You could solve the problem by disabling the use of the script, but organizations often rely on such scripts for other reasons. Instead of disabling the script, you can solve the problem by configuring BypassProxyOnLocal entries and setting them to true.

If you incorrectly edit the registry, you might severely damage your system. Before you make changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.
