VOVSOFT — Proxy Server позволяет управлять HTTP и SOCKS прокси-серверами на вашем компьютере под управлением Windows.
Это приложение предоставляет возможность перенаправления трафика данных через прокси-серверы, что позволяет обходить географические ограничения и повышать уровень безопасности в Интернете. Также оно может быть полезно разработчикам программного обеспечения для тестирования приложений в различных сетевых условиях.
Интерфейс VOVSOFT — Proxy Server предельно простой, с минимальным количеством опций. Основные функции включают кнопки запуска и остановки HTTP и SOCKS прокси-серверов, что позволяет легко контролировать их состояние. Для каждого прокси-сервера можно задать номер порта, если стандартный номер не подходит для ваших нужд.
Каждое действие пользователя фиксируется в журнале, который отображается в нижней части главного окна. Это позволяет отслеживать состояние сервера и выполнять мониторинг работы. Однако, для более удобного и быстрого контроля состояния сервера можно было бы добавить индикатор активности рядом с каждым сервером.
VOVSOFT — Proxy Server поддерживает HTTP, SOCKS4 и SOCKS5, что делает его универсальным инструментом для тестирования приложений, доступа к ограниченному контенту и повышения уровня безопасности и конфиденциальности в сети. Приложение ориентировано на простоту использования, что может не удовлетворить потребности опытных пользователей, ожидающих большего количества настроек и опций.

When you’re connected to the internet and using a proxy server while browsing the web, that traffic goes through the proxy server instead of coming directly from your Windows PC. A proxy server can be used when you’re connected using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. In some cases, your company or organization might require a proxy server.
To use a proxy server, you’ll need one or more of the following things, depending on how you’re setting it up:
-
Automatically. Windows detects the proxy server settings automatically, so you don’t have to enter any information.
-
Set up script. You’ll need to know the location of the proxy setup script for your organization (if proxy settings aren’t detected automatically). If you don’t know the address for the proxy setup script, you might need to contact the IT department for your organization.
-
Manually. You’ll need to know the proxy server name or IP address and port (optional). If you don’t have this information, you might need to contact your IT department.
Note: If you’re using a VPN connection and it uses a proxy server, you’ll need to set it up separately for that VPN connection.
In general, a VPN and proxy server connection might appear to have some similarities, but a VPN provides a more secure connection compared to a proxy server. For more info about setting up a VPN connection, see Connect to a VPN in Windows.
-
In the Settings app on your Windows device, select Network & internet > Proxy.
-
Under Automatic proxy setup, turn on Automatically detect settings.
-
In the Settings app on your Windows device, select Network & internet > Proxy.
-
If you or your organization uses a setup script, next to Use setup script, select Set up.
-
In the Edit setup script dialog box, turn on Use setup script, enter the script address, then select Save.
-
In the Settings app on your Windows device, select Network & internet > Proxy.
-
Under Manual proxy setup, next to Use a proxy server, select Set up.
-
In the Edit proxy server dialog box, do the following:
-
Turn on Use a proxy server.
-
In the Proxy IP address and Port boxes, enter the proxy server name or IP address and port (optional) in the respective boxes.
-
If you don’t want to use the proxy server when you visit certain websites, enter the ending of the website address in the exception list (for example, *.contoso.com).
For multiple websites, type each website address and separate the addresses with a semicolon (for example: *.contoso.com; *.adatum.com). The * is a wildcard so any website addresses that end with the website address listed will bypass the proxy server.
-
Select or clear the Don’t use the proxy server for local (intranet) addresses check box.
We recommend you select this check box unless your organization requires the proxy server to be used for intranet addresses. -
Select Save.
-
-
In the Settings app on your Windows device, select Network & internet > VPN.
-
Select the VPN connection, then select Advanced options.
-
On the VPN connection settings screen, select Edit next to Proxy settings for this VPN connection.
-
In Proxy settings, select the type of proxy setup you want to use, then enter the proxy server information for that VPN connection. If you don’t know the proxy server settings for your VPN connection, you might need to contact your IT department.
-
Select Apply.

Proxies soak up the harshness of the internet and add additional functionality. You can use proxies to access geo-restricted content, conceal your IP address, and shield your device from malicious requests.
This guide demonstrates how to use Oxylabs Residential and Datacenter Proxies on Windows 10 & 11 as well as on previous generations of Microsoft’s operating system.
Setting up proxies on Windows 10 & 11
The setup for proxy server for Windows 10 and 11 is identical. The newer Windows versions allow you to configure the most important options through the Settings application. To configure proxy server settings, follow the instructions below.
-
Navigate to Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.
Windows Settings app
Network & Internet settings
2. Configure Proxy settings. Windows has three ways to set up a proxy: automatically, by setting up a script, or manually.
Automatic proxy setup
While in Proxy settings, turn on Automatically detect settings.
Enabling the automatic settings detection
When you enable this option, Windows will automatically detect authorized proxy server settings using the Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD). Organizations authorize (impose) such settings on computers connected to their internal networks to restrict access and protect digital assets.
If you use a personal computer or want to add a proxy manually, turn this setting off.
Setting up a script
While in Proxy settings, enable Use setup script and enter an address.
Enabling the script setup
After clicking Save, the proxy configuration will be imported from a specified list.
Manual proxy setup
To configure a proxy manually, enable Use a proxy server and specify the following details:
Residential Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Proxy host: pr.oxylabs.io
Proxy port: 7777
You can also use country-specific entries. For example, if you enter fr-pr.oxylabs.io under IP address and 40000 under Port, you’ll acquire a French exit node. For a complete list of country-specific entry nodes or if you need a sticky session, please refer to our documentation.
Configuring Residential Proxies
Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies
Specify the following if you purchased Dedicated Datacenter Proxies via sales.
Proxy type: HTTP or SOCKS5
Proxy host: a specific IP address (e.g., 1.2.3.4)
Proxy port: 60000
For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired list. Visit our documentation for more details.
NOTE: To specify the SOCKS5 proxy type, you’ll have to use legacy Windows features (refer to the next section).
Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies
Specify the following if you purchased Dedicated Datacenter Proxies via the dashboard.
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Proxy host: ddc.oxylabs.io
Proxy port: 8001
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired list. Check our documentation for more details.
Shared Datacenter Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
Proxy host: dc.oxylabs.io
Proxy port: 8001
For the pay-per-IP subscription, the port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address on your list, meaning port 8001 will use the first IP address. Please check our documentation for further details.
With the pay-per-traffic subscription, port 8001 picks a random IP address, remaining constant throughout the session. The proxy’s geo-location can be set in the user authentication string, like user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD, connecting you to a US proxy. More details are in our documentation.
ISP Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Proxy host: isp.oxylabs.io
Proxy port: 8001
NOTE: You can also list specific websites that will ignore your proxy server settings. Separate addresses with semicolons to create multiple exceptions. Add an asterisk with a dot (*.) if you want to exclude multiple addresses from the same domain (*.oxylabs.io).
3. Lastly, open a browser, enter your Oxylabs proxy user’s credentials, and Sign in. Use the same credentials you typed in while creating a new proxy user in the Oxylabs dashboard.
Entering Oxylabs sub-user’s credentials
All set up! You’re now passing your web requests through a proxy.
Configuring proxies using legacy Windows settings
These steps apply to all Windows versions (7, 8, and older) and offer some more in-depth features excluded from the Settings app found on Windows 10 & 11. To configure proxy settings, follow the steps below:
