Answer 1

For me neither the above in the previous answer neither what suggested here(that is quite the same, only explained a bit better).

What instead has worked so far, and only for the session, is this command:

(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).Proxy.Credentials =  
[System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials

as from really well explained here

Then I was able to retrieve web content as for example:

Invoke-WebRequest http://example.org

how do you run this for each new powershell instance?? – Smoothshaven

@gianni, what you mean exactly? At same time? I guess you can write a powershell script in the integrated env, as I guess still exist. Is been a while since I don't use powershell now. – Jackstay

I believe it is a possible duplicate of https://superuser.com/questions/419696/in-windows-7-how-to-change-proxy-settings-from-command-line

There is a command named set proxy. See the following:

set HTTP_PROXY=http://user:[email protected]:port

Using netsh

netsh winhttp set proxy  [proxy server address:port number] [bypass list]
