Windows – Proxy settings for all users

PROXYwindows

If I enable the following configuration on 'gpedit.msc', where do I set the proxy server address and port?

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows
Components\Internet Explorer\Make proxy settings per-machine (rather
than per user)

This is explained on this topic, but it doesn't make it clear:

If I enable this configuration and try running the following command as recommeded in other sources, nothing will be set and won't work as expected:

netsh winhttp import proxy source =ie

The computer isn't an AD member and I can't add the GPO so it will be enabled for all users.

Thanks for the help!

What the GPO does is setting the value ProxySettingsPerUser of the registry key HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings. Enabled is 0, disabled is 1.
