Edge Proxy
all of them are depreciated and shouldn't be used, except for 1. you can see in the picture
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#proxysettings
in ProxySettings there is a part where it explains how to override system proxy settings with command line
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-learnmore-cmdline-options-proxy-settings
System network settings
The Microsoft Edge network stack uses the system network settings by default. These settings include proxy settings, and certificate and private key stores.
There are scenarios where users request an alternative to using the system's default proxy settings. To support these scenarios, Microsoft Edge supports command-line options that you can use to configure custom proxy settings.
Yes, I see. They have been abandoned.
At present, I only configure the group policy of proxysetting. I want to know whether this group policy will be effective for edge alone or for the entire operating system?
In addition, with regard to configuring the agent from the command line, I would like to know whether it will work only for edge or for the entire operating system?
Other depreciated policies, based on their description, only apply to Edge.
command line only applies to Edge of course, there is no way to apply it to the entire OS...
you know where the command line is, right?
right-click on Edge icon on desktop and choose properties
in the target area, add the commands at the end
for example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --proxy-server="proxy2:8080"OK, I'll do some tests.
Now, there are only two ways to set the proxy settings that only work for edge?
1. Use the command line
2. Use Socks5
If i want to promote the command line in the organization, how to operate?
No, just command line.
use it to set http,https,socks4,socks5 etc.

use Microsoft SCCM, Intune, to distribute that Edge shortcut to your clients
or even maybe group policy

managing clients is out of the scope of this topic (because not related to Edge, but a Windows server/client topic), you need to contact your administrator or IT person, they should know how to do this.
