Using a proxy makes sure that the traffic you produce goes through the proxy server instead of coming directly from your Windows 11 PC

Window 11

1. Click the Windows Start button, type “settings” and select the “Settings” option

2. Select the “Network & Internet” option and click the “Proxy” option on the right

3. Click the “Set up” button on the “Use a proxy server” card of the “Manual proxy setup” section

4. Toggle “Use proxy server” to ON, fill out the “Proxy IP address” and “Port” fields with the IP port forward copied from Proxy Booster, and press the “Save” button
