To enable a proxy, the method depends on **where** you're trying to enable it (e.g. system-wide, browser, terminal, development tool, etc.). Here's a breakdown of how to enable a proxy in common environments:

### ✅ **1. System-Wide (Windows)**

**Windows 11 / 10:**
1. Go to **Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy**
2. Under **Manual Proxy Setup**, turn **"Use a proxy server"** ON.
3. Enter:
– Address: `your.proxy.server.com`
– Port: `8080` (or whatever your proxy uses)
4. Click **Save**.

### ✅ **2. macOS**
1. Go to **System Preferences > Network**
2. Select your active network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
3. Click **Advanced > Proxies**
4. Check the type (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS) and fill in your proxy address and port.
5. Apply and save.

### ✅ **3. Browser Only (e.g., Chrome/Firefox)**

– **Chrome** uses system proxy settings (follow OS-specific steps above).
– **Firefox** allows custom proxy:
1. Go to `Settings > General > Network Settings > Settings…`
2. Choose “Manual proxy configuration”
3. Enter your proxy details.
4. Click OK.

### ✅ **4. Terminal (Linux / macOS / Git Bash / WSL)**

export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:port
export https_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:port

To make this persistent, add those lines to:
– `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` (Linux/macOS)
– `.bash_profile` (Git Bash)

### ✅ **5. npm / Yarn / Node.js Projects**

npm config set proxy http://your.proxy.server:port
npm config set https-proxy http://your.proxy.server:port

For Yarn:

yarn config set proxy http://your.proxy.server:port
yarn config set https-proxy http://your.proxy.server:port

### ✅ **6. Docker**

In Dockerfile or Docker Compose:

environment:
  - http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:port
  - https_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:port

Or in `/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf`:

[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://your.proxy.server:port"

Then run:

sudo systemctl daemon-reexec
sudo systemctl restart docker

If you let me know the **specific environment/tool** you want to enable the proxy in, I can give exact steps tailored to that.
