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

Hey! Had the same issue last week. Turns out, sometimes Windows doesn’t apply proxy settings properly unless you restart.

Try this:
1. set proxy settings manually (IP + port)
2. Uncheck "Automatically detect settings"
3. Restart your PC

If it still doesn’t work, check if your admin blocked proxy changes. Also, for Linux/Mac, it’s way easier—just use the network settings GUI or terminal commands like `export http_proxy`.

For secure browsing, try VPNs like ProtonVPN or Windscribe—they’re simpler than messing with proxies.
