Recommended action: Pass fetch from undici and fetchOptions: { dispatcher: new ProxyAgent(url) } to the client (or setGlobalDispatcher), or on Node 24+ set NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 so fetch honors HTTP(S)_PROXY/NO_PROXY.
Option: Wire an undici ProxyAgent into the SDK [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Node.js apps using openai-node behind a proxy
Steps:
1. npm i undici
2. import { fetch, ProxyAgent } from 'undici'
3. new OpenAI({ fetch, fetchOptions: { dispatcher: new ProxyAgent(process.env.HTTPS_PROXY) } })
4. Alternatively on Node 24+: export NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1
Expected: Requests go through the proxy
