I'm trying to make a webrequest through a proxy on Windows phone 7. From what I can see the Compact Framework does not include the configuring of a proxy for the HttpWebRequest object. I tried using RestSharp but the RestClient also does not allow this. I've also tried configuring the Internet Options on my local machine to use a proxy, hopping that the same options will apply on my Windows Phone Emulator. That didn't work. Do you have any ideas?

Under "configuration" section in Web.config add this:
<system.net>
<defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true"></defaultProxy>
</system.net>
(for more more info - MSDN - defaultProxy Element (Network Settings))

This just fixed a problem I've been having for 3 days. See my question here: stackoverflow.com/questions/26845404/…
For people coming from Google looking how to set a proxy with RestSharp, if you are not on Windows Phone, at least as of version 104.4.0 you can do the following:
var client = new RestClient("http://example.com")
client.Proxy = new WebProxy("http://proxy.example.com")
Don't know whether this would work on Windows Phone since I am not familiar with the framework there; since the title of the question did not contain Windows Phone I thought that many like myself would end up here, just searching about how to setup the proxy with RestSharp.

i had tried the above per Stefano (using webProxy with restSharp's restClient - kept getting proxy connection issues). instead i ended up dumping that and just editing my app.config by adding in this:
<system.net> <defaultProxy> <proxy autoDetect="False" bypassonlocal="True" proxyaddress="http://myproxy.domain.com:8080" usesystemdefault="False" /> </defaultProxy> </system.net> received the idea from this post on SO C# Connecting Through Proxy.Justin C
i understand this doesn't directly answer the win 7 original question, but thought i would share in case another fellow restSharp user was struggling with the webProxy issue.

Does anyone know how to do this in RestSharp v107? I've used it before with v106 but with v107 it tells me client.Proxy is not valid. I was going to downgrade to v106 but I see it has a know vulnerability.

@Caverman Checkout my answer below. stackoverflow.com/a/71271696/8644294
In RestSharp v107, you can set Proxy using options object.
var options = new RestClientOptions("https://api.myorg.com") {
Proxy = GetWebProxy() // <-- Right here.
ThrowOnAnyError = true,
Timeout = 1000
};
var client = new RestClient(options);
Method to return WebProxy object:
public static WebProxy GetWebProxy()
{
var proxyUrl = "http://proxy-name.companydomain.com:9090/";
// First create a proxy object
var proxy = new WebProxy()
{
Address = new Uri(proxyUrl),
BypassProxyOnLocal = false,
//UseDefaultCredentials = true, // This uses: Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
//*** These creds are given to the proxy server, not the web server ***
Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
//Credentials = new NetworkCredential("proxyUserName", "proxyPassword")
};
return proxy;
}

This worked for me.
String url = "some url";
IWebProxy proxy = WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy;
proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
RestClient client = new RestClient(url);
{
Proxy = proxy,
};

Some example using a method and a class: The call:
var client = new RestClient(urlbase);
if(myConfigInstance.ProxyActive) {
client.Proxy = GetWebProxy(myConfigInstance);
}
and the method:
public static WebProxy GetWebProxy(ProxySettings proxySettings)
{
WebProxy proxy;
try
{
proxy = new WebProxy(proxySettings.Server, Int32.Parse(proxySettings.Port))
{
Credentials = new NetworkCredential(proxySettings.Username, proxySettings.Password, proxySettings.Domain)
};
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new Exception("Error");
}
return proxy;
}
and the class:
public class ProxySettings
{
public bool ProxyActive { get; set; }
public string Port { get; set; }
public string Server { get; set; }
public string Username { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public string Domain { get; set; }
}

RestClient client = new RestClient(url);
client.Options.Proxy = new WebProxy("127.0.0.1");
Don't forget .Options.Proxy
