代理服务器是您的 PC 和 Internet 之间的中介。当您的浏览器使用代理服务器时，您访问的网站会将代理视为实际访问者，而不是您的计算机。这可以提高您的在线隐私和安全性，同时还可以帮助您绕过互联网上的内容限制。企业还使用代理来监控、过滤和保护员工在互联网上浏览的内容，以确保访问的内容遵守公司的政策。阅读本教程以了解如何更改Google Chrome代理设置、Mozilla Firefox代理设置，以及在Windows 10中为(Windows 10)Microsoft Edge和Opera配置代理的步骤(Opera). 让我们开始吧：

在“连接设置”(Connection Settings)弹出窗口中，您可以找到与代理相关的选项。默认情况下，Firefox设置为“使用系统代理设置(“Use system proxy settings)”，这意味着它使用您在Windows 10中配置的代理服务器设置。但是，还有其他选择。
Firefox的默认设置是使用系统代理设置
要为Firefox(Firefox)配置单独的代理服务器，一个选项是选择“手动代理配置”(“Manual proxy configuration”)并输入代理详细信息。与其他浏览器不同，Firefox允许您为各种流量设置不同的代理服务器和端口，例如HTTP、SSL、FTP等。
您还可以选择“自动代理配置 URL”(“Automatic proxy configuration URL”)选项，然后将地址插入PAC文件。在这种情况下，Firefox会下载一个文件，其中包含使用配置的代理服务器所需的所有信息。
选择自动(Select Automatic)代理配置URL以设置Firefox代理
如果您不想为某些地址使用代理服务器，您可以在“无代理”(“No proxy for”)文本框中添加它们，并用逗号 ( , )分隔。要保存您的设置，请单击OK。
如何在Microsoft Edge(Microsoft Edge)中设置代理
Microsoft Edge使用Windows 10代理设置，就像Google Chrome一样。要更改它们，请启动 Microsoft Edge(start Microsoft Edge)，单击或点击右上角的“设置及更多”(...)(“Settings and more” (...))按钮，然后访问设置(Settings)。

How to set a proxy server in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera
Proxy servers are intermediaries between уour PC and the internet. When your browser uses a proxy server, the websites you access see the prоxy aѕ the actual vіsitor instead of your сomputer. This can improve your online рrivacy and security while also helping you bypass content restrictions on the internet. Proxiеs are also used by enterрrises to monitor, filter, and seсure what their employees browse on the internet, in an effort to еnsurе that the aсcessed content respectѕ the cоmpany’s policies. Read this tutorial to find out hоw to change the Google Chrome proxy settings, thе Mozilla Firefox proxy settings, as well as the steps to configure a proxу for Microsoft Edge and Opera in Windows 10. Let’s get started:
NOTE: For more details, you can also check out our guide on what a proxy server is.
How to change the proxy settings in Chrome
Chrome does not offer any unique configuration options for setting a proxy server because it uses the same proxy settings as Windows 10. To change the Google Chrome proxy settings, first, click or tap on the “Customize and control Google Chrome” button from the browser’s top-right corner. Its icon looks like three vertical dots. Then, click or tap on Settings.
Access Chrome's Settings
From the column on the left, click or tap on Advanced to open a dropdown menu and access the System tab. Then, on the right, click or tap on “Open your computer’s proxy settings.”
Open your computer's proxy settings to set a proxy for Chrome
This opens the proxy settings in Windows 10, where you have two options: configure the proxy settings with a script address or use a manually selected proxy server. We offer more information, as well as detailed instructions for each one in our guide on configuring proxy server settings in Windows 10.

If you don’t feel like reading our dedicated tutorial, here’s a summary of the instructions for manually setting up a proxy in Windows 10:

How to change the Mozilla Firefox proxy settings
If you want your browser to use a different proxy server than Windows 10, Mozilla Firefox is a great option. You can easily change the Firefox proxy settings to send the web browser traffic through a proxy. To begin, click or tap on the hamburger button in the browser’s top-right corner and then on Settings.
Access the Firefox Settings
This takes you to the General settings. Scroll down to the bottom of this tab to the Network Settings section. Then, click or tap on the Settings button.
Access Settings to configure how Firefox connects to the internet
In the Connection Settings pop-up, you can find the proxy-related options. By default, Firefox is set to “Use system proxy settings,” meaning that it uses the proxy server settings that you have configured in Windows 10. However, there are other alternatives.
Firefox's default is to Use system proxy settings
To configure a separate proxy server for Firefox, one option is to select “Manual proxy configuration” and enter the proxy details. Unlike other browsers, Firefox allows you to set different proxy servers and ports for various kinds of traffic, like HTTP, SSL, FTP, and so on.
You can also select the “Automatic proxy configuration URL” option and then insert the address to your PAC file. In this case, Firefox downloads a file with all the required information to use the configured proxy server.
Select Automatic proxy configuration URL to set up a Firefox proxy
If you don’t want to use a proxy server for certain addresses, you can add them separated by a comma (,) in the “No proxy for” text box. To save your settings, click OK.
How to set up a proxy in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge uses the Windows 10 proxy settings, just like Google Chrome. To change them, start Microsoft Edge, click or tap on the “Settings and more” (...) button in the top-right corner, and access Settings.
Access the Microsoft Edge Settings
Access the System tab from the left column, and then, on the right, click or tap on “Open your computer’s proxy settings.”
Open your computer's proxy settings to set an Edge proxy
This opens the Windows 10 proxy settings, where you can set up the connection with a script address or use a manually selected proxy server. For more details, as well as instructions for each of these two options, read our guide on configuring proxy server settings in Windows 10.

Access Opera's Settings
In the Advanced settings, scroll down to System, and then click or tap on “Open your computer’s proxy settings.”
