Enterprises that host their infrastructure on-premise or in a hybrid cloud setup tend to use a multi-level security approach. This usually involves one or more firewalls that protect the infrastructure from external traffic, and a web proxy to control the intranet and internet traffic. In such a scaled setup, traffic generated from the agent may be blocked from connecting to the Azure DevOps server if it is not routed through the proxy.
