How to set proxy on cmd or python for windows 10?

Question

can anyone help me about this? I just wanna set up a proxy with cmd or python. I have tried these but it doesn't work.

First try(on cmd):

netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-ip:proxy-port

Output:

C:\Windows\system32>netsh winhttp show proxy

Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
    Proxy Server(s) :  proxy-ip:proxy-port
    Bypass List     :  (none)

I checked my ip on web site. Nothing changed.

Second try:

import os
import requests

os.system('netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-ip:proxy-port')

r = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/")

print(r.text)

Stil nothing changed. What i need to do?

When you need something major changes on OS, you should provide admin permissions, here is the solution;

pip install elevate

And you can use this code;

import os
from elevate import elevate

elevate(show_console=False)

command = 'netsh winhttp set proxy proxy_ip:proxy_port bypass-list="localhost"'
os.system(command)

You can look at the details of elevate package.
