System proxy setup on Windows 10/11

Before starting, obtain your connection parameters (host, port, login/password). See Getting started → Proxy setup.
For protocols see: HTTP/HTTPS, SOCKS5.

Benefits of system configuration​

  • The proxy applies to all applications that use the system network settings (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Yandex Browser and others).
  • Firefox can by default use system settings, but it also has its own internal proxy configuration (see Firefox).

Quick setup (through Settings)​

  1. Open Start → Settings → Network & Internet → Proxy.

Interface Windows Interface Windows

  1. In the Manual proxy setup section set the toggle to On.

Interface Windows

    • Address: p2.mangoproxy.com
    • Port: 2333

Interface Windows

WinHTTP (for services and console utilities)​

Some system services use WinHTTP, which has its own proxy parameters.

Show current settings:

netsh winhttp show proxy

Set a WinHTTP proxy:

netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="http://p2.mangoproxy.com:2333" bypass-list="localhost;127.0.0.1"

Reset:

netsh winhttp reset proxy

If your proxy requires authentication (login/password), most WinHTTP clients will show a login dialog or use cached credentials on first connection.

Checking​

  • Open any IP checker in your browser and make sure the IP address has changed.
  • From PowerShell you can check:

Reset to default​

In Settings → Network & Internet → Proxy turn off Use a proxy server.
And/or run:

netsh winhttp reset proxy

Tips and frequently asked questions​

  • Different browsers: Chrome/Edge/Opera/Yandex rely on system settings (see also: Chrome, Edge, Opera, Yandex).
  • Firefox: if needed set a proxy inside the browser itself (see Firefox).
  • Exceptions: they are useful when local addresses (APIs, development servers) should bypass the proxy.
