Choose the active network connection you are using (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) from the left sidebar.

4.Click on “Advanced”:
In the lower-right corner, click on the “Advanced” button.

5.Go to the “Proxies” Tab:
In the new window, go to the “Proxies” tab.

6.Configure Proxy Settings:
Depending on your needs, you can configure different types of proxies (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc.). Check the boxes next to the types of proxies you want to use.

Enter the proxy server address and port number.

7.Authentication (if required):
If your proxy requires a username and password, enter them in the “User name” and “Password” fields.

8.Click “OK”:
Click “OK” to save your proxy settings.

9.Apply Changes:
Back in the main network settings window, click “Apply” to apply the changes.

Remember that these changes will affect your entire system, including any web browsers eg. Chrome / EDGE you use. If you’re using a proxy service with specific configuration requirements, refer to the service’s documentation for detailed instructions.
