You haven't said for what platform, but at least for Unix-like things, most applications and libraries respect the http_proxy environment variable, which you can set in most shells like:

$ export http_proxy=http://server-ip:port/
$ export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128/
$ export http_proxy=http://proxy-server.mycorp.com:3128/
$ export http_proxy=http://foo:bar@server-ip:port/
$ export http_proxy=http://foo:bar@127.0.0.1:3128/
$ export http_proxy=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@proxy-server.mycorp.com:3128/

The proper string will be specific to your environment. Details on interpretation of the environment variables are at: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/dart-io/HttpClient/findProxyFromEnvironment.html.

  1. For windows By setting in Environment Variables ( System Properties )
http_proxy=http://server_ip:port

https_proxy=http://server_ip:port

  1. pub_specs.yaml

    http_proxy: ^1.1.0

  2. main.dart

import 'package:http_proxy/http_proxy.dart';
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

...


void main() async {

  ...

  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  HttpProxy httpProxy = await HttpProxy.createHttpProxy();
  httpProxy.host = "server_ip";// replace with your server ip
  httpProxy.port = "port";// replace with your server port
  HttpOverrides.global=httpProxy;
