You can override the proxy settings that WoG uses, but your proxy needs to support HTTPS. If you usually can connect with HTTPS (these are "secure" sites, like your bank's, if you're not familiar with the term HTTPS) then this should be no problem. To specify a proxy, you need to set the environmental variable named "https_proxy" (or alternatively "all_proxy" if you want to use the same proxy server for all types of connections) to a string of the form "hostname:port" (e.g. "proxy.myisp.com:12345").

If you don't know how to set environmental variables, Microsoft explains that here (you can define either a system variable or a user variable; either will work, but obviously the user variable applies to a single user only).
