NEWSPULSE_RSS_PROXY: shared proxy when a source has no proxy URL
The per-source proxy field in the admin UI is the primary control when a feed needs its own egress. When many feeds can share one corporate or VPN proxy, it is easier to define it once on the server.
The NEWSPULSE_RSS_PROXY environment variable is applied to sources whose proxy field is empty, so you do not paste the same URL into every row (see the README).
For non–Google News RSS, behaviour is simpler than the Google News chain (covered elsewhere). HTML article fetching respects the source proxy and, when needed, NEWSPULSE_RSS_PROXY.
Security note
“Free anonymous” proxy lists are not bundled; you provide endpoints you trust.
