Using a proxy makes sure that the traffic you produce goes through the proxy server instead of coming directly from your Windows 11 PC

⭐ Windows

  1. Click the Windows Start button, type β€œsettings” and select the β€œSettings” option

  1. Select the β€œNetwork & Internet” option and click the β€œProxy” option on the right

  1. Click the β€œSet up” button on the β€œUse a proxy server” card of the β€œManual proxy setup” section

  1. Toggle β€œUse proxy server” to ON, fill out the β€œProxy IP address” and β€œPort” fields with the IP port forward copied from IPFighter, and press the β€œSave” button.

The above procedure works like a charm with HTTP proxies, but what if you wanted to manually configure an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy in Windows 11? That is possible but involves a different procedure!

  1. Select the β€œNetwork and Internet” option

  1. Select the β€œInternet Options” link
