HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com"); if (WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy != null) { webRequest.Proxy = WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy; } EDIT: Since submitting this question I have found that one or many proxies can be set for different destinations or bypassed (perhaps for local
