By using following C# code "Enable Proxy" can be checked/enabled

ServerManager servMgr = new ServerManager();
Configuration config = servMgr.GetApplicationHostConfiguration();
ConfigurationSection proxySection = config.GetSection("system.webServer/proxy");
proxySection["enabled"] = true;
servMgr.CommitChanges();
