It is not possible to set up a proxy connection in the program itself. That is, you should configure it either through the regular settings of Windows, or by using third-party utilities to forward traffic (e.g., through ProxyCap).
To set up a proxy on your computer, you need to go through a simple procedure. If we're talking about Windows 10, you'll first need to open the "Settings" application and the "Network and Internet" section. Here, after opening the "Proxy Server" tab, find the column "Manual proxy server setup" just to the right and move the switch to the "On" position. Enter the IP address and the proxy port in the specified fields and click "Save".
The first thing to do is to find a suitable proxy server with an IP address and port. Then you should check whether the proxy works by means of a special program or an online service providing such services. The next step is to configure the type of browser you are going to use. The procedure of setting itself depends on the type of browser and does not take much time. After correctly entering the IP address, username and password of the proxy server, don't forget to save the changes you made.
Every proxy server is of the type 168.1.1.1:8080, where the first part before the colon is the IP address of the remote computer through which the connection is made. The second part (after the colon, in this case 8080) is the port number through which your equipment will connect to that very remote server.
