Summary
For troubleshooting purposes, it may be required to bypass a proxy by using an additional port to access Bitbucket Server.
This is required when you want to make sure that the problem you are experiencing is not related to a proxy misconfiguration (i.e. git cloning, browsing through specific pages, etc. ).
