Set up proxies directly on the Windows operating system.
Requirements
Before getting started, ensure that:
No other VPN or proxies are active.
You have your GoProxies endpoint ready, e.g. proxy.goproxies.com:1080
Your GoProxies subuser (also called API User) username and password.
Proxy Setup
This guide covers both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Press Windows + I to open Settings.
Navigate to Network & Internet.
Click Set up under the Manual proxy setup section.
Enable Use a proxy server.
Fill in the following:
Proxy IP address:proxy.goproxies.com
Port:1080
Check Don't use the proxy server for local (intranet) addresses.
Click Save.
Verify the Connection
Open a browser and go to ip.goproxies.com. If prompted for credentials, enter your subuser username and password. If the IP shown reflects your proxy location, you're all set.
Common Issues
SOCKS5: Windows 10 and 11 don't support SOCKS5 natively. If you need SOCKS5, use a browser or third-party tool that supports it, such as Mozilla Firefox or the FoxyProxy extension.
