+## Add support for routing outbound HTTP requests via a proxy for federation
+
+Since Synapse 1.6.0 (2019-11-26) you can set a proxy for outbound HTTP requests via
+http_proxy/https_proxy environment variables. This proxy was set for:
+- push
+- url previews
+- phone-home stats
+- recaptcha validation
+- CAS auth validation
+- OpenID Connect
+- Federation (checking public key revocation)
+
+In this version we have added support for outbound requests for:
+- Outbound federation
+- Downloading remote media
+- Fetching public keys of other servers
+
+These requests use the same proxy configuration. If you have a proxy configuration we
+recommend to verify the configuration. It may be necessary to adjust the `no_proxy`
+environment variable.
+
+See [using a forward proxy with Synapse documentation](setup/forward_proxy.md) for
+details.
