"The short answer is: you can't. There is no ""global"" proxy setting, because proxies are used by individual applications (like Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.), not by Windows itself. However, some programs internally use Internet Explorer libraries to access the web, so they will use the IE setting, as posted by firedfly.

You can force individual applications to use proxies, even if the applications themselves don't support proxies, by using tools such FreeCAP or Socksify.

If you really do want to force all programs to go through a proxy it would have to be done at the network level, so you would need to establish a VPN connection to a service like Your Freedom or Steganos Internet Anonym."

"You can set a global, machine level proxy by using netsh.exe.
Run:

netsh winhttp set proxy <proxy server address> <exception list in quotes, seperated by ;>"

"If you have fiddler you can look at requests from your browser after you have already authenticated and copy the Proxy-Authorization header, then set a breakpoint before requests to capture requests from your program and paste the header to the request. Or you can add a custom rule inside OnBeforeRequest (Ctrl+R):

if(!oSession.oRequest.headers.Exists(""Proxy-Authorization"")){
oSession.oRequest.headers.Add(""Proxy-Authorization"", ""Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxx"");
}

where xxxxx is what you captured from the browser's request. Although not a permanent solution it's simple and works fine. Adding the rule also works with streaming turned on."
