Questions seeking product, service, or learning material recommendations are off-topic because they become outdated quickly and attract opinion-based answers. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve. Share your research. Here are a few suggestions on how to properly ask this type of question.
I am looking for a simple web proxy server that anybody can use. I mean it should be executable and not commandline/service. Something like squid/polipo but with a windows interface. It should also be able to cache and should be free of charge.
Advanced Onion Router is a client for OR network and is intended to be an improved alternative for Tor+Vidalia+Privoxy bundle for Windows users. It is able to "force" a program and its plugins to use the Tor proxy regardless of its configured proxy
We are looking into configuring the following below since our environment does not have any internet access, and If I am not wrong we would need a Proxy server, either software proxy or hardware proxy box.
If so, how? If not => what windows commands should I follow?

The best way around this is (and many other situations) in my experience, is to use cntlm which is a local no-authentication proxy which points to a remote authentication proxy. You can then just set WinHTTP to point to your local CNTLM (usually localhost:3128), and you can set CNTLM itself to point to the remote authentication proxy. CNTLM has a "magic NTLM dialect detection" option which generates password hashes to be put into the CNTLM configuration files.
I have looked in the application directory but can not find how to set BootstrapStudio beyond the default configuration. And I can't either find any Registry-KEY configuration within RegEdit to solve this problem.
Sorry that you've run into this issue! As Bootstrap Studio needs to have internet connection the first time it starts, you will need to configure the proxy server manually. To do this, edit the shortcut to Bootstrap Studio on your desktop. Right click it, choose "Properties" in the menu, and add this switch at the end (outside the quotes for Bootstrap Studio.exe):
I also tryed to boot the Studio from command line using the same proxy arguments, and I got the following log message (electron) ipc module is deprecated. Use require("electron").ipcMain instead. (electron) loadUrl is deprecated. Use loadURL instead.
I revised that Post at at Stackoverflow. I installed telnet from Windows 7 / ( Control Panel - > Windows Installation Utilities -> Select Telnet).From Commnad-Line, I tested that all was right with proxy: i.e. proxy.YourDomain.com 3128
I followed StackOverflow instruction And put parameters by Martin Angelov outside of the quotes of BootStrap Studio .exe sentences and with Administrative Privileges execution mode.
So, you can test: wget, or for instance, pip3.6 install neovim. Only then, when those utilities run perfect from command line, it was possible to me, running bootstrap-estudio installer with parameters.
After you type www.wiley.com, the request is sent to the proxy server. The server then sends the request to the server where the website is hosted. The homepage of the Wiley website is returned to the proxy server which, in turn, returns the homepage to you.

When backing up using the agent, then out of the box the server being backed up acts as the proxy itself. If you use backup from storage snapshots, then the non-OS drives will be backed up by a proxy server.
I recently changed ISPs from Frontier to Spectrum, so my devices now have different IP addresses. I have Solid Explorer on two devices: an Asus Zenpad tablet running Android 5.0, and a Motorola e4 running Android 6.0. Before the IP change, I was able to FTP to/from both devices and my Windows 10 machine.
Since the change, the tablet FTP works but when I try to access the phone from my Windows machinie, I get "The folder ' :9999/" is read-only because the proxy server is not set up to allow full access." And then it loads up the phone's file directory in my web browser. I do not have a proxy server as far as I know.
thanks.. this helped me..
Actually, I am using shared wifi through LAN, directly connected to my pc from laptop. I was confused that this might be the problem but restarting explorer.exe worked for me...
Just wanted to mention that this helped me. I started my FTP server late, and trying to join with Explorer gave me that read-only proxy message. Searched for 15 minutes and all "solutions" were not helping. Restarting Explorer in Task Manager was the solution for me. Thank you anon, you really helped me out here.

The WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service service terminated with the following service-specific error:
The endpoint mapper database entry could not be created.
We need to restart the VM for it to rectify as the WinHTTP Service refuses to start using the services control panel. The services on those box support 24/7 products and we don't have anyone on call to restart the box at a moments notice.
Thus, you can launch programs, browsers and download files from the desktop to fix any issues you might have. You can simply restart the system from safe mode to return to normal mode.
NONE of the "fixes" written in this topic works. The worst advise is the one given about running a "safe boot".. COME on.. Microsoft just fix this **bleep** issue which has been present since the beginning of time and stops CRUCIAL web services from working!!!!
We've encountered a similar issue with some of our Windows Server 2019 VMs. The WinHTTP Proxy Service stopping and being unable to send HTTP requests is indeed problematic, especially for 24/7 services.
From our experience at Laptops Insights, here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:
Check for Windows Updates: Ensure that your server is fully updated. Sometimes, this issue can be due to a bug that has been fixed in a later update.
Review Group Policies: Group policies related to network settings and proxy configurations might be causing conflicts. Double-check any policies applied to the affected servers.
Reset WinHTTP Proxy Settings:
Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
Run netsh winhttp reset proxy.
Check Dependencies: The WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service depends on other services. Ensure that all dependencies are running properly. You can check this by:
Open the Services control panel.
Find the "WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service".
Right-click and select "Properties".
Go to the "Dependencies" tab and verify that all listed services are running.
Event Viewer Logs: Apart from the specific error you mentioned, look for any other related errors or warnings around the same time frame. They might give more insight into what's causing the issue.
Check Network Settings: Sometimes, incorrect or changing network settings can cause this issue. Ensure that the network configuration on the affected VMs is consistent and correct.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, consider creating a scheduled task to restart the WinHTTP service automatically at regular intervals. This is not a permanent fix but can help mitigate the impact until a more permanent solution is found.
Let me know if any of these steps help or if you need further assistance.
I am trying to run a Windows container behind a http proxy server. I have added my proxy information in the Docker settings dialog. I can pull images from Docker Hub so the proxy settings seems to work as expected.
When I run a Linux container it can access the internet just fine but when I run a Windows container it does not use the proxy and I can not access the internet. I useed the Invoke-Webrequest cmdlet to test the connectivity to the internet from my container. I tried to add the proxy settings to my Windows container as well.
I tried both at the same time and separate. I tried to do everything in the Dockerfile and in the powershell prompt in the container. Nothing works. The Invoke-Webrequest cmdlet do not use the proxy server when making a call to the internet.
I can see in Wireshark that the container tries to call the IP for the url not the IP for the proxy server.
Just to verify that nothing is wrong with our proxy server I tried to specify the proxy in the Invoke-Webrequest like this:
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Proxy $proxy -OutFile install.ps1 and it works! I can see in Wireshark that the proxy server is called with the http request.
It turns out that Windows actually reads the values for the proxy from the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections] key in the registry. This key is created when you click the OK/Apply button in the proxy config dialog in Internet Explorer (hard to do in a container)
I made an attempt to create a powershell script that sets the encoded registry settings as well. Use it with cousion, I have not used this in production yet. And yes, this only works in the WindowsServerCore image. The NanoServer images does not have the Internet Explorer installed so the registry keys do not exists. If you want to use tha NanoServer image you have to find another solution.
