Anyone with Windows 10/11

If desired, an end user can configure windows to route all system traffic via the ANON network using windows in-built proxy manager.

1. Navigate to the settings app and ensure your windows system is up to date and all critical updates have been installed

   
2. Navigate to the "Network and Internet" section of the settings app and select "Proxy"

1. Toggle "Automatically detect settings" ON and then click "Set up"

1. A new pop up window will appear, toggle "Use a proxy server" ON and then enter your hardware configured socks 5 proxy settings (or any other configured ANON socks 5 proxy) in the following manner:

   1. Proxy IP address: socks=0.0.0.0

   2. Port: 9050

Substitute 0.0.0.0 for the socks5 proxy server IP and 9050 for the defined port, both can be configured in the anonrc file. Below is an example using a local machine:

Toggle the "Don't use the proxy server for local (intranet) addresses option to ensure you will still be able to find local network devices when connected (i.e. network printers)

Click "Save" and now your windows device will no always route all its traffic via the configured ANON proxy provided the server is reachable - you can toggle the "Use a proxy server" ON and OFF as required and windows will keep the last used configuration information saved
