Answer 1

Setting proxy in Java/FX

Answer 2

By default, JavaFX will automatically use your Operating Systems proxy settings, this is controlled via the Java Preferences or Java Control panel icons on your Mac or PC.

You can also set, within Java, the proxy environment variables, but I haven't tried this.

If you are trying to request an external resource from an unsigned application, Java may prompt you (the user) for permission when it runs.
