Set Internet Explorer Proxy Settings Globally

This article was posted more than 1 year ago. Please keep in mind that the information on this page may be outdated, insecure, or just plain wrong today.

Here’s a registry file to set the Internet Explorer proxy settings globally for all users on a computer. This should work with Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10 and 11.
This example only allows google.com website access; the rest would be proxied to 127.0.0.1:80.
