HEELPBOOK - How to find out which Proxy Server I am using (Windows Vista/7) ##########################

###### SCENARIO

Is there a way to find out what proxy I am using if Internet Options are disabled by Group Policy?


###### SOLUTIONS

There are couple of ways to find out what proxy server you're using. Here's how to find out the proxy server address using Command Prompt.


* Hit Win ORB (Start button)
* Type CMD
* Click Enter


In the command prompt window type the following:


reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" | find /i "proxyserver"


Or you can use the tools like Ethereal or Wireshark to sniff for the network traffic and this way found out the address of the proxy server, although this could be a problem if you don't have appropriate permissions to install third party software.
