How to Set Up a Proxy in Windows 10

In this article we will teach you how to Set Up a Proxy in Windows 10. A proxy server is an intermediary between your Windows 10 PC or device and the Internet. This server makes requests to websites, servers, and services on the Internet for you. The article is divided into two parts which are as follows:
A. Set up a proxy using an automatic configuration script.
B: Set up a proxy manually.

By default, Windows 10 is set to automatically detect proxy settings. However, this may not work when you’re connected to your company’s business network. One way to set up a proxy is to specify a script address that is given to you by the network administrator or by the company’s IT department. (Set Up a Proxy in Windows 10)
