Find out the proxy address - how it works
You can find out your proxy address yourself via detours - but it is somewhat hidden. With our instructions you will quickly find out the address - no matter which browser you use.
Find out the proxy address using the CMD command
The easiest way, regardless of the browser, is to find out the proxy address using the command prompt:
- Press the Windows button and enter "cmd". Then open the search result.
- Now insert "netsh winhttp show proxy" (without quotation marks).
- You will then be shown all the details of your current proxy connection, including the proxy address.
Find proxy address using browser
If the proxy runs via the browser settings, you can also read out the proxy address there:
- Firefox: "Settings"> "Advanced"> "Network"> "Settings".
- Chrome: "Settings"> "Show advanced settings"> "Network"> "Change proxy settings".
- Edge: "Settings"> "Show advanced settings"> "Open proxy settings".
On the next page we will show you how to view and edit the proxy settings in Windows 10.
