Edge Browser Proxy Setting

Utilizing a proxy for data scraping offers enhanced anonymity and mitigates the risk of IP bans. By rotating IP addresses, it allows for seamless and uninterrupted scraping while maintaining a layer of privacy.

Setup Proxy at Edge Browser

Setting up a proxy in the Microsoft Edge browser involves configuring your system’s proxy settings, as Edge typically uses the system-wide proxy settings. Here’s a general guide for setting up a proxy on Windows, which will affect Microsoft Edge:

Open Settings:

1. Press Windows + I to open the Settings menu.

2.Go to Network & Internet:
Click on “Network & Internet.”

3. Proxy Settings:
In the left sidebar, select “Proxy.”

4.Manual Proxy Setup:
Under the “Manual proxy setup” section, toggle the switch to turn on “Use a proxy server.”

5.Enter Proxy Information:
Enter the IP address and port number of your proxy server in the respective fields.

6.Save Changes:
Click “Save.”

Note:
Please note that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the version of Windows you are using. Additionally, if your computer is part of a network that is centrally managed (like in a workplace), your ability to change these settings may be restricted.

If you’re using a specific type of proxy, such as a SOCKS proxy or a proxy with authentication, there may be additional settings you need to configure. Check the documentation provided by your proxy service for specific instructions.

Proxy servers act as intermediaries between your device and the internet. When you connect to the internet through a proxy, your requests are processed through the proxy server before reaching the destination website to prevent ad block.

How to Disable Proxy from Edge

1. In the “Local Area Network (LAN) settings” section, uncheck the box next to “Use a proxy server for your LAN.”

2. Click “OK” to apply the changes and close the windows.
