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

OP here—thanks for all the tips! Tried the `netsh winhttp reset proxy` trick and it actually stuck this time. Still gotta test Linux, but the `/etc/environment` method looks clean.

Quick Q: If I use SOCKS5, do I need to configure proxy server settings in every app separately? Or is there a way to force everything through it?

Also, shoutout to whoever mentioned proxychains—gonna play with that next. Y’all rock!
