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

If you’re on Windows, open `inetcpl.cpl` (just type it in Run) and go to Connections > LAN settings. Uncheck "automatically detect" and punch in your proxy IP/port.

For Linux, you can configure proxy server globally in `/etc/profile.d/proxy.sh` (create it if missing). Add:
```
export http_proxy="http://proxy:port"
export https_proxy="http://proxy:port"
```

HTTP is basic web stuff, SOCKS is for apps. If it fails, check `journalctl -xe` on Linux for errors.
