There are three options for setting up proxies on Windows. Let's talk about each one.
Automatic configuration
Go to settings and enter "proxy" in the search bar or go to the "Network & Internet" → "Proxy" section.
Step 1: go to the "Proxy" section
In the "Automatic proxy setup" section, enable the automatic detection settings.
Step 2: select automatic configuration
Setting up using the installation script
Go to settings and enter "proxy" in the search bar or go to the "Network and Internet" section → "Proxy".
Go to the "Proxy" section
If you have the address of a special script, enable "Use installation script".
Select installation by script
In the "Script address" field, enter the provided URL and click the "Save" button.
Use script for configuration
Manual connection setup
Go to settings and enter "proxy" in the search bar or go to the "Network and Internet" section → "Proxy".
Go to the "Proxy" section
Go to the "Manual server setup" section and enable "Use proxy port". Select manual setup.
Select manual setup
Enter the IP address and port in the respective fields.
Enter the IP and port values
You can enter the ending of the URLs of websites that you do not want to visit through the proxy. For example, *.contoso.com.
For multiple websites, enter the address of each website and separate the addresses with a semicolon (e.g., *.contoso.com; *.adatum.com).
* is a wildcard character, so all website addresses with that ending will bypass the proxy port.
You can check the box "Do not use the server for local addresses". This is useful if your company does not need to use the server for internal addresses.
