Question

Hi,
what is difference between these two proxies setup when both are done in Powershell? Have seen both is use and action but really could not found the difference (if there are even).

Netsh winhttp set proxy <url:port>

and

 [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("https_proxy","http://{proxy-url}:{proxy-port}","Machine")
    $env:https_proxy = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("https_proxy","Machine")

or in cmd

set http_proxy=protocol://ip:port

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Q&A platform.

Based on my knowledge, all these commands are using to configure proxy and there is no difference between these commands.
