You can now use proxy_bypass_hosts together with a custom proxy to load selected hostnames directly instead of routing them through the proxy.

Proxy bypass hosts reduce custom proxy bandwidth

This is useful when large static resources such as images, videos, fonts, or scripts must load for the screenshot but do not need the proxy IP address or location. Other requests continue through the configured proxy, and bypassed requests are not blocked.

Start with the highest-bandwidth hostnames reported by your proxy provider and verify that the rendered result remains correct after each change.

Read how to reduce proxy bandwidth to learn how to combine host bypasses with request blocking, resource blocking, caching, and selective proxy retries.
