Configure an HTTP or HTTPS proxy for expediting package downloads by way of
caching, or for an environment where DataStax Enterprise (DSE) clusters must be isolated
offline from the internet. The package proxy is disabled by default. Enable the package
proxy in Lifecycle Manager (LCM) if your organization manages your own HTTP or HTTPS
caching proxy such as Squid.
