Random thought: Are you on a work network? Some admins lock down proxy changes. Might need admin rights to configure proxy properly.
Also, Chrome has its own proxy settings (chrome://settings/system). Check there too!

Yo, thanks for all the tips! Turns out I was using the wrong port (facepalm). Switched to 8080 and it worked.
But now my browser’s slow af—is that normal with proxies? Or did I mess up something else? Also, anyone know a good lightweight proxy for Win10? Cheers!
