Explanation

To manually configure a proxy in Windows 10, the technician opens Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings, then enables 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' and enters the proxy address and port. Alternatively, this can be done via Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy. Adding an entry to the hosts file maps hostnames to IPs and has nothing to do with proxy routing. Running ipconfig /release and /renew only renews the DHCP lease. Setting a proxy as the default gateway is incorrect-the default gateway is the router address for routing decisions, not proxy configuration.
