Hello,

You may have encountered this issue when referencing this thread to set up the proxy How to use Proxy for current version of WebView2 (1.0.705.50), when in fact, the two WebView2s are not in the same namespace.

On MAUI, it is in Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls namespace, and there is no such an api to set environment in this class.

As the matter of fact, the ability to set a separate proxy for WebView2 on Windows is not officially supported, you can refer to Does webview2 has proxy feature programmatically #1311.

On Windows, your WebView2 will use the proxy settings of your Internet Explorer or Edge browser directly.

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
