Connecting to Internet via Proxy Authentication

Hi DEMTMAN,

There is no direct way to use a proxy server with the Xbox. I would suggest using a secondary router that can authenticate for you with multiple Xbox consoles. If you cannot use that then a computer would need to be setup with internet connection sharing,
and you would need to route through that. Below is a link for setting up ICS on Windows.

I usually try to login with my Xbox account only when connecting, the App does not have an option to put the proxy credentials to authenticate on my network. And so the App claims that I do not have a connection to the internet due to the absence of such
authentication.

Thanks

Have a similar issue with a few Xbox Ones (and PS4s) in an environment with a transparent proxy that requires authentication. Long story short, neither console can correctly deal with proxies and particularly fall down when authentication is required.

A simple work around is to have a computer that is connected/authenticated and tunnel that connection to the Xbox. Most OSs these days have the ability to easily set up Internet Sharing that will enable a lot of this, though a bit of thought may need to
go into creating a tunnel or two to make sure that it gets a connection through the proxy from the computer. Works pretty well for me here and with the tunnel rules that I have set up it even keeps the NAT working so online play works well.

The Xbox cannot talk to a proxy direct , you would have to share your PC/Laptop connection:-

Please look at one or both of these guides for help on this set-up:-
