Hello, I am trying to install a third party Azure IoT Hub node but I think it failed because of the proxy at work. How do I set this up in Node Red?

Sounds like you would need to give Node-Red an environment variable named HTTP_PROXY;

Here is an excerpt from the settings.js, which is where I first assumed you would need to set it, but looks like not. Looks like it just need an environment variable.

/** If you need to set an http proxy please set an environment variable
 * called http_proxy (or HTTP_PROXY) outside of Node-RED in the operating system.
 * For example - http_proxy=http://myproxy.com:8080
 * (Setting it here will have no effect)
 * You may also specify no_proxy (or NO_PROXY) to supply a comma separated
 * list of domains to not proxy, eg - no_proxy=.acme.co,.acme.co.uk
