Hi,

I can access a host only through a web proxy using the host’s pubic ip adress. How to run tasks against that server.

ansible controller node name : AnsibleHost  
remote server name : remotehost  
webproxy: [proxy.com:8080](http://proxy.com:8080)

I can connect to remotehost from AnsibleHost through this web proxy only. how to configure it in inventory. Please help
