Hi,
I have deployed a Java SpringBoot application on a droplet running Ubuntu. The application is running with the java -jar command. I’m able to call the exposed endpoint by making a get call to (ip address of the vm):(exposed port)/contextroot/helloworld. From my personal computer this works fine while testing with Postman and results in the expected Json. However, when I make the same call from my machine from work, it says the address cannot be found. My work machine is routing all traffic through a proxy. What can I do to expose this REST endpoint properly? So machines with and without a proxy can consume it?
If any further details are needed, please ask! Thanks
