+Proxy support
+-------------
+
+Functest needs internet access to download some resources for some test cases.
+For example to install the Rally environment. This might not work properly if
+the Jumphost is running through a Proxy.
+
+If that is the case, make sure the resolv.conf and the needed proxy environment
+variables are properly set::
+
+ export http_proxy=<your http proxy settings>
+ export https_proxy=<your https proxy settings>
+
+Or refer to the official Docker documentation for Proxy_ settings.
+
+Before running **prepare_env.sh** make sure you can ping http and https sites
+inside the container. For example::
+
+ nc -v google.com 80
+ Connection to google.com 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!
+
+ nc -v google.com 443
+ Connection to google.com 443 port [tcp/https] succeeded!
