Summary
WinHTTP (Windows HTTP Services) allows you to configure proxy settings for applications that use the WinHTTP API. This is useful when you need to route HTTP traffic through a proxy server. Here’s a simple guide on how to manage proxy settings using the netsh winhttp command.
1. Check Current Proxy Settings
To view your current WinHTTP proxy configuration, use:
netsh winhttp show proxy
2. Set Proxy Server
To configure a proxy server, use the following syntax:
netsh winhttp set proxy [proxy-server] [bypass-list]
For example, to set a proxy server at 10.10.2.107 and bypass it for google.com:
netsh winhttp set proxy 10.10.2.107 google.com
3. Reset Proxy Settings
This will clear all proxy settings and configure WinHTTP to connect directly to the internet.
netsh winhttp reset proxy
