Windows 10 detects proxy settings automatically by default. Still, the detection may not work if you’re using a corporate network. One way of setting up a proxy is to use a script address you get from the network admin or the IT department. When you’re using a configuration script, note that the address will always be similar to a URL – for example, http://proxy.server.address:8000/ or similar.

You can set a proxy manually by entering the IP address and port number. The proxy’s address is similar to the IP address of any other PC on the network, with the port number being any combination of up to four digits, depending on how your admin sets it up.
