How do I setup a proxy? Need a step-by-step guide! or How do I setup a proxy properly? Help a beginne

Hey! If you're wondering how do I setup a proxy on Windows, it's actually pretty simple.
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy. From there, you can manually enter the proxy details.

For a beginner, I'd recommend using a free proxy like Hide.me or ProtonVPN (they have free tiers).

Yes, it *can* slow things down a bit, but not always. Depends on the proxy server location.
