If you configure a proxy for an ActiveGate deployed on an EC2 instance with an attached IAM role, you must ensure that you exempt the address used to access the instance metadata. The address to exempt is the IP address of the instance metadata service, 169.254.169.254. This address is always the same and does not depend on the instance.
In the appropriate section of your ActiveGate communication settings, specify proxy-non-proxy-hosts = 169.254.169.254.
For example:
[http.client]
proxy-non-proxy-hosts = 169.254.169.254
