Is it possible to set a system wide proxy on Windows 10 where all traffic will adhere to? I tried using the LAN settings as well as netsh, but it seems to only affect the browsers and not traffic from other applications.

If there exist some "system wide proxy" which proxies all traffic (socks-proxy?), you must use some client program (specific for this proxy). – Akina Aug 14 '18 at 04:30

Yes I'm referring to a SOCKS proxy. – user1118764 Aug 14 '18 at 05:53

Each socks proxy provides its own client for to install on a client station. Do it. – Akina Aug 14 '18 at 05:54

I'm not sure I get what you mean. I tried using LAN settings to set, as well as "netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="socks=localhost:8050" bypass-list="localhost" (proxy on port 8050). Neither worked. – user1118764 Aug 14 '18 at 06:05

AFAIK it's not possible the force every application to use a proxy. You have to use some proxy client or you have to configure it on the network level (forward every traffic to a proxy server on the gateway). https://superuser.com/questions/29701/global-proxy-settings-for-all-windows-applications-in-windows-vista – bcs78 Aug 14 '18 at 08:31
