Hi I have a PC with a proxy internet connection. When I use for example flutter it needs to download some dependencies by sock connection. How can I set a global configuration for my PC to use socks connection to internet? Thanks
How to set socks proxy on windows
PROXY
Best Answer
Windows' basic proxy settings in "Network and Internet" don't seem to actually allow setting a SOCKS proxy explicitly.
To set a SOCKS proxy (SOCKS4 or SOCKS5, I believe) on Windows 10:
Internet Options
(either by searching in the start/search bar, or throughControl Panel
>Network and Internet
>Internet Options
)Connections
tab and clickLAN Settings
Check the box to "Use a proxy server for your LAN". You'll likely also want to check "Bypass proxy server for local addresses". Then click the "Advanced" button:
Uncheck "Use the same proxy server for all protocols", remove all proxy addresses except for "Socks", and replace the Socks address/port with that of your server:
