I would like to configure proxy settings in Notepad++ to allow downloads from the internet via a proxy. After searching how to do that from the net I understand that I need to do that in the Plugin Manager, via the Settings button. When I go to Plugins>Plugin Manager>Show Plugin Manager>Settings I get the dialog box below which does not give me any option for indicating the proxy settings. How do I get to the point that I need to indicate the proxy settings?
To set up a proxy server for a VPN connectionSelect the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet > VPN. Select the VPN connection, then select Advanced options. Under VPN proxy settings, select the type of proxy setup you want to use, then enter the proxy server information for that VPN connection.
Opening the Notepad++ Plugin Manager The Plugins Admin dialog box (or plugin manager) lists the available and installed plugins. You can install additional plugins, update, and remove included plugins with this dialog box. To open the Notepad++ plugin manager, go to Plugins > Plugins Admin.
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type netsh winhttp show proxy, and then press ENTER.
Open cmd and type:
cd /d C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\updater gup -options
A dialog comes up to set the proxy settings.
with version 7.6.6 (april 2019) (probably onwards), you can run notepad++ as admin, use menu '?' > Set Updater Proxy... close notepad++ and open it again as standard user.
