Telemetry export to your own collector uses separate certificate and proxy settings

Claude Code can send usage data to a collector you run, using OpenTelemetry (a common standard for sending this kind of data, also called OTLP). Before, every connection Claude Code made used the same rules for which certificates to trust and which proxy to go through. A proxy is a server that relays network traffic. Connections for this telemetry export now take a separate path. Claude Code checks your own certificate authority and proxy settings and builds either a "customer" or a "strict" connection from them.
