After some trial and error, I see that when I add the following into the .apmrc file at c:\users\<user_name>\.atom\.apmrc, I am able to tunnel through the proxy.

proxy = https://<user-name>:<password>@<proxy-host>:<port>
https-proxy = https://<user-name>:<password>@<proxy-host>:<port>

However, after I close and launch Atom again, the entries are gone but Atom is able to tunnel through the proxy and show me the packages I want.

Any clues as to why the entries disappeared and how Atom is working?
