Windows 10: How do I enable proxy server settings?

Dear all,


I've been having a lot of trouble trying to setup proxies in the LAN settings but every time I add a new proxy that is up and working, my web browser would still give me this error message"unable to connect to the proxy server". I don't know if there's another program that is blocking me from using proxies or I think it might have to do with the firewall or security policy settings not letting me use proxies. Can someone help me with this problem?


Thanks

:)

Hi Marius,

If you're using a proxy server, it is possible that the issue is with the proxy settings. We recommend checking for the proxy settings to see if it is correct. To access the proxy settings, follow these steps:

• Click the Windows logo (Start button).
• Click the gear icon (Settings).
• Select Network & Internet.
• On the left pane, choose Proxy.

If the proxy settings are correct, we recommend that you disable Use a proxy server and enable

Hi Raul,

If you're unable to get online because of proxy servers, there is a possibility that
Manual proxy setup is turned on. To turn this off, follow the steps below:

• Click the Windows key.
• Go to Settings.
• Select Network and Internet.
• On the left pane, click Proxy.
• Under Manual proxy setup, toggle off Use a proxy server.

Once done, try to check if you can now go online.
