I was told that policy circumvention is off topic but on one hand I didn't find it in https://serverfault.com/help/on-topic, on the other hand, I doubt people are able to tell the true purpose of the questioner.

How is this question "How to route requests to https://www.example.com to a proxy server? I've installed HAProxy but can't figure out the rules"

"How to route requests to https://www.example.com to a proxy server?
I've installed HAProxy but can't figure out the rules"

comparing to a more detailed explanation "How to route requests to https://www.xvideo.com to a proxy server because my company doesn't allow us to access adult content? I've installed HAProxy but can't figure out the rules"?

"How to route requests to https://www.example.porn to a proxy server because my company doesn't allow us to access adult content?
I've installed HAProxy but can't figure out the rules"?

Are they all on topic or off topic? Why

Is purpose evaluation required for answering a question?
