Insert your proxy IP into the address section and then the proxy port into the port section. \
If you need a username and password for the proxy, Windows will automatically ask for it in a popup.

## Extra steps if using User:Pass proxies

If you are using an IP authenticated proxy, you should be done. If you are using a user:pass proxy please follow the instructions below. 

Go to the Start Menu and search for "**Manage Windows Credentials**"

The click on "**Add a Windows credential**"

Then you should be able to add the IP of the proxy (without the port) and the credentials. After this, click OK and you're done.
