Force Steam (and other programs that do not specify proxy settings) to use a proxy
- by joshhunt
My school requires a proxy for all internet access. If you want to use the internet, it is impossible to not use a proxy. This makes it a problem for many programs that don't seem to let you enter proxy settings.
How can I use Steam when I am behind a proxy? Is it possible to somehow enter the details into a configuration file, or force it to get the settings from Internet Explorer?
If not, does software exist for creating a 'virtual' network adapter which will pass all traffic (or all protocol x traffic) through the proxy?
Although I am facing this specific problem on Windows 7, solutions for all operating systems are welcome.
