How to Set Up a Proxy Server on Windows
Unlock the full potential of your internet connection! Proxies are your online secret weapon—they let you access geo-restricted content, hide your IP address, and protect your device from malicious threats. This guide will walk you through setting up a proxy server on Windows, whether you’re using Windows 10 or 11.
Setting Up Proxies on Windows
Good news: Setting up proxies on Windows 10 and 11 is virtually identical! Both versions make it easy to configure proxy settings through the Settings app. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1. Open Network & Internet Settings. Press Windows + I to open Settings, then go to Network & Internet.
Step 2. Enable Automatic Detection. Click on Proxy in the sidebar. Under Automatic proxy setup, toggle Automatically detect settings to On.
Step 3. Configure Manual Proxy Settings. Scroll down to Manual proxy setup and toggle Use a proxy server to On. Then, fill in the required details:
-
Address: Enter
proxy.oculus-proxy.com. -
Port: Use the port number provided in your Oculus dashboard.
Finally, click Save to apply your changes.
Windows does not have built-in fields for entering usernames and passwords. You’ll need to input these credentials when prompted by applications using the proxy. When accessing a website, a pop-up will appear asking for your credentials. Simply enter your Username and Password from your Oculus Proxies account.
And that’s it! Your Windows device is now set up with Oculus Proxies, giving you enhanced privacy, unrestricted access, and a secure browsing experience. Whether you’re working, streaming, or just surfing, you’re ready to go!
