Win11 set Socks5 proxy: global/sub-application proxy detailed steps

Hands-on with Win11's Sock 5 Agent

Recently, a lot of small partners are asking, how to get that Socks5 proxy on Win11. In fact, this thing is like a computer to change a "cloak of invisibility", but you have to pay attention to the method. Today, we will break open the rubbing said, to ensure that you can get started after reading.

Why Socks5 Proxy?

Let's start with a cold one: Socks5 is better than the HTTP proxymuch faster, like the difference between a highway and a country road. Especially when dealing with a large amount of data, such as data collection or game multi-opening, the difference comes out. Let's talk about our ipipgo, the quality of their Socks5 line is stable a batch of lines in more than 200 countries around the world to choose from.

Global Proxy Settings

Let's start with the simplest global setup for situations where you need the entire computer to go proxy. Follow the steps:

1. Win+R, type control, enter.
2. Go to [Network and Internet] → [Proxy]. 3.
3. Check the box for Manually set proxy.
4. fill in the server address given to you by ipipgo. 5.
5. fill in the corresponding number of the port (usually 1080)
6. Remember to check the box "Use proxy server for local addresses".

Here's a pitfall to watch out for:Every time you reboot your computerTo recheck the settings, sometimes the system updates jerk around and reset the configuration.

Sub-application agent tricks

A more advanced way to play is to hook up proxies to specified software. For example, let Chrome go proxy, WeChat remain intact. Here we recommend using Proxifier this magic tool:

1. Create a new profile in the software
2. Add the server information provided by ipipgo to the Proxies.
3. Go to the Rules tab and click the + sign.
4. Applications select the software you want to proxy.
5. Action select the proxy configuration you just created.

举个栗子：想给Steam挂代理代理ip下载，就找到steam.exe添加规则。这样其他程序还是走正常网络，不耽误事儿。
