Let say you have to setup proxy setting in some app, but you don't know the proxy server IP and/or port. The browser setting says: automatic detection. And there is no one around to give you the answer. How to obtain the proxy server ip address

Go to cmd or powershell run netstat you will see a lot and a lot more connections. The output shows columns like below:
'Protocol' 'Local Address' 'Foreign Address' 'State'
Foreign Address will repeat the same value many, many times. This is your proxy server for 99%. if there is only name simply ping the name to get the ip address.
4ex: proxy:8080
ping proxy
proxy.mynetwork.local 10.0.0.250
setup the proxy in your app to proxy server: proxy.mytwork.local (or 10.0.0.250)
proxy port: 8080
