How do I properly set proxy settings for my network? or What's the best way to set proxy settings on

"Having trouble with connection issues—how do I set proxy settings correctly?"

Hey folks,

So I’ve been trying to set proxy settings on my Windows machine, but no matter what I do, my connection keeps acting up. Like, I enter the proxy IP and port, hit save, but it’s like the system just ignores it?

Am I missing something? Do I need to restart or flush some cache? Also, does it work differently on Linux/Mac?

And yeah, I’ve checked the "Automatically detect settings" box—still nada.

If anyone’s got a step-by-step or knows why the changes aren’t sticking, pls help a dude out.

Thanks!

(Also, if there’s a *better* way to set proxy settings for secure browsing, lmk!)
