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

Bro, same. Windows proxy settings are janky. Here’s what worked for me:

1. set proxy settings in Chrome/Firefox *and* Windows (yeah, both).
2. Flush DNS (`ipconfig /flushdns`).
3. Check if your firewall (like Windows Defender) is blocking the proxy.

For Linux, `gsettings` or `export` in bashrc does the trick.

Also, if security’s the goal, just use a VPN. Mullvad’s solid.
