Windows

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.

1. Press Windows + I to open Settings.

2. Navigate to Network & Internet.

3. Click Set up under the Manual proxy setup section.

4. Enable Use a proxy server.

5. Fill in the following:

   • Proxy IP address: proxy.goproxies.com

   • Port: 1080

6. Check Don't use the proxy server for local (intranet) addresses.

7. 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.
