"Proxy server settings in program not working – help?!"
Hey guys,
So I’ve been trying to set up the proxy server settings in program, but no matter what I do, it just won’t connect. I’ve double-checked the IP, port, and credentials, but nada.
Anyone else run into this? Maybe I’m missing something obvious?
Also, does the program even *save* the proxy server settings in program properly? Cuz sometimes it feels like it just resets after I close it.
Thanks in advance!

"Where to find proxy server settings in program?"
Yo,
Quick question – where do I even *find* the proxy server settings in program? Looked everywhere in settings but it’s like hiding from me lol.
Trying to set it up for secure browsing, but no luck so far.
If anyone knows, drop a hint! Cheers.

"Best way to configure proxy server settings in program?"
Hey folks,
What’s the *right* way to configure proxy server settings in program? I keep seeing mixed advice online.
Should I use auto-detect, manual entry, or some script? And does it need a restart after saving?
Just wanna avoid headaches later. Thanks!

Hey! Had the same issue last week. Turns out the program doesn’t save Proxy server settings in program unless you hit "Apply" before exiting. Also, some firewalls block the connection even if everything’s correct. Try disabling it temporarily to test.
If that doesn’t work, check out ProxyChecker (free tool) to verify your proxy is live.

Ugh, proxy settings can be such a pain. Have you tried using a different proxy type (HTTP vs SOCKS)? Some programs are picky. Also, make sure the proxy isn’t geo-restricted or dead.
For debugging, Fiddler (web debugging tool) might help see if the requests are even going out.

Yo, for the "where to find" question—it’s usually under Settings > Network or Advanced. But some programs bury it in a config file. If you’re on Windows, try searching %appdata% for a config folder.
Proxifier’s a good alternative if the built-in Proxy server settings in program suck.

Bro, same! Mine kept resetting until I ran the program as admin. Some apps need elevated permissions to save Proxy server settings in program. Also, check if there’s a config file in the install dir—editing that manually sometimes works.

If auto-detect’s not working, manual’s the way to go. But yeah, restart the program after saving. Some apps cache the settings weirdly.
For testing, hide.me has a free proxy list—just grab one and see if it sticks.

OP here—thanks for the tips! Tried running as admin and it finally saved the Proxy server settings in program. Still no connection tho. Gonna test with ProxyChecker like someone suggested.
Weird thing: the program works without proxy but dies with it. Maybe a timeout issue? Anyway, appreciate the help!

Lol, the struggle is real. Had to dig into the registry once to fix this. If the program’s being stubborn, try reinstalling or checking for updates. Old versions sometimes glitch with Proxy server settings in program.

Quick tip: If you’re using auth, make sure the username/password doesn’t have special chars. Some proxies freak out with symbols. Also, verify the port—common mistake!
ProxyNova’s checker is clutch for testing proxies.

For configs, manual entry’s safest. Auto-detect can mess up if your network’s weird. And yeah, some programs need a restart—annoying but true.
If all else fails, maybe try a VPN instead? Less hassle sometimes.
