Answer 1

If it helps someone, VS 2017 has a folder:

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\Git\mingw32\etc

with a file named gitconfig - the same as the file in C:\Users\[UserName]\.gitconfig - where you can set the proxy configuration for VS.
