How Do I Set Proxy Settings Correctly on My Device? or What's the Best Way to Set Proxy Settings for

OP here—wow, didn’t expect so many replies! Y’all are legends.

Tried the `netsh` command and flushing DNS, and it’s kinda working now? Still getting timeouts though.

Quick Q: How do I know if the proxy server itself is down? Is there a way to test it without third-party tools?

(And my Mac buddy says thanks for the tips—he’s gonna try Proxifier tonight.)
