This only works for Windows 8 through 10 and only if you're setting up a Socks proxy, rather than an HTTP proxy. After many hours of experimentation, I finally figured out how to configure Dispatch for use on the system level. You can't use the Network & Internet settings page from Windows 8 through 10. Whatever you enter there will end up screwing up the configuration. You have to go to the Contol Panel and open Internet Options and go to the Connections tab. From there you want to go to the Proxy Server section and check Use a proxy server for your LAN and Bypass proxy server for local addresses. Then you want to click the Advanced button and on the page that opens you want to make sure every field is empty except the Socks: fields. There you want to enter socks for the Proxy address to use and 1080 for the Port. Also, make sure that the Use the same proxy server for all protocols box is unchecked. After using this method, every app on my system uses Dispatch-Proxy.
