Sauce Labs: Local Testing Connection Though Office Network

Sauce Connect Proxy

Sauce Connect Proxy™ is a built-in HTTP proxy server that opens a secure “tunnel” connection for testing between a Sauce Labs virtual machine or a real device and a website or a mobile app hosted on your local computer (“localhost”) or behind a corporate firewall. It provides a means for Sauce Labs to access your application or website.

When is Sauce Connect Proxy Necessary?

It is required only in situations where your website or app being tested in Sauce Labs is on a private network and not publicly accessible.
