Checking or changing proxy settings in Microsoft Edge
To check or modify the proxy server settings for a Microsoft Windows 10 system
from the Microsoft Edge browser, take the following steps:
-
Click on the 3 dots that appear near the upper, right-hand corner of the
browser and from the options that appear, select Settings
-
From the Settings menu that you will then see, scroll down until you
see Advanced settings and then click on View advanced settings.
-
From the Advanced settings menu, click on Open proxy settings.
-
To specify a proxy server manually, scroll down to the Manual proxy
setup section. The "Use a proxy server" setting should be set to "On".
You can put the IP address of the proxy server in the Address field
and the port number to be used for the proxy server in the Port field.
E.g., to use a
SOCKS proxy server that has been set up via a
Secure
Shell (SSH) connection to an SSH server, e.g., via
PuTTY, you
could put
socks=127.0.0.1 in the Address field and
1080 in the Port field if PuTTY set up the SOCKS proxy on
the remote SSH server using port 1080, which is the
registered port for a SOCKS proxy.
-
Click on Save, if you've made changes that you wish to apply.
