How Do I Properly Configure Proxy Server Settings for Better Security? or What’s the Best Way to Conf

Hey! For Windows 10, try going to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy and toggle "Use setup script" or "Manual proxy setup." Sometimes group policies or apps override it, so check if any VPN/proxy software is messing with it.

For Linux, it depends on the distro, but you can configure proxy server settings in `/etc/environment` or use `export http_proxy="http://yourproxy:port"` in bash.

HTTP is simpler for web traffic, but SOCKS is better for apps like torrents. If it keeps resetting, maybe your ISP or admin is blocking it?

Check out [Nginx’s guide](https://www.nginx.com/) for advanced setups.
