In Windows Server 2016, I setup the proxy using below powershell script:

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' -name ProxyServer -Value "proxyhostname:proxyport";
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' -name ProxyEnable -Value 1;

However, I'm still unable to connect to my website through IE11 browser. Is there any other place where the proxy setup needs to be done?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A!

    Do you want to Configure Internet Explorer to Use a Proxy Server? As you described, you have tried both with command and GUI and the settings seems have no probelm.

    Some users reported that Internet Explorer 11 has Proxy Problems After Update. For more details, please refer to:
    https://windowsreport.com/internet-explorer-11-proxy-problems-windows-8-1-update/

    I've also researched some suggestions regarding Troubleshooting with Proxy Server:

    Hope you have a nice day : )
