You can set up a Socks5 proxy on a Windows 11 system with a few easy steps. First, you need to open advanced settings for your network and add a credential for a proxy connection. Then you need to add a proxy protocol name before the address of the server and press save. So, for Socks5, you just need to add socks= and then the actual address.
