If your Windows device connects to the internet through a company proxy, you can configure Comeen Play to route its connections through that proxy.

1. Install Comeen Play

Download and run the Comeen Play installer for Windows.

There is nothing to configure during installation. Comeen Play installs, starts, and displays a pairing code.

If the device does not have direct internet access, Comeen Play will remain on the loading page until the proxy is configured.

2. Configure Comeen Play to use your proxy

Open PowerShell on the device.

Replace the proxy address on the first line with your own, then paste and run the entire block:

$Proxy = 'http://10.0.0.5:3128'   # leave empty ($Proxy = '') to stop using a proxy  $Run = 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run'  # Locate the player $Value = (Get-ItemProperty $Run -EA 0).'Comeen Play' if (-not $Value) { $Value = (Get-ItemProperty $Run -EA 0).'Comeen Play Proxy' } if ($Value -notmatch '"?(.+?\.exe)"?' -or -not (Test-Path $Matches[1])) {     throw 'Comeen Play not found - start it from the Start menu, then run this again.' } $Exe = $Matches[1]  if ($Proxy) {     $Flags = "--no-auto-launch --proxy-server=$Proxy"     Set-ItemProperty $Run -Name 'Comeen Play Proxy' -Value "`"$Exe`" $Flags"     Remove-ItemProperty $Run -Name 'Comeen Play' -EA 0 } else {     $Flags = ''     Remove-ItemProperty $Run -Name 'Comeen Play Proxy' -EA 0 }  Stop-Process -Name 'Comeen Play' -Force -EA 0 if ($Flags) { Start-Process $Exe -ArgumentList $Flags } else { Start-Process $Exe }

Comeen Play restarts and begins using the proxy. It will continue to use the proxy each time the device starts.

You can run the script again at any time to change the proxy address.

To stop using the proxy, set the first line to:

$Proxy = ''

This returns Comeen Play to a direct connection and its normal start-at-logon behavior.

After reinstalling Comeen Play or when using a new Windows user account, run this configuration again.

3. Alternative: Configure Comeen Play manually

The PowerShell method above is the recommended way to configure Comeen Play.

Alternatively, you can start Comeen Play manually with the --proxy-server option. This can also be useful for testing a proxy address before making the configuration permanent.

Close Comeen Play, then start it with the following option:

--proxy-server=http://10.0.0.5:3128

For example:

"C:\...\Comeen Play.exe" --proxy-server=http://10.0.0.5:3128

You can find the Comeen Play executable path in its Start menu shortcut: right-click the shortcut, select Properties, then check Target.

The following proxy formats are supported:

http://host:port
https://host:port
socks5://host:port

Make the manual configuration permanent

To keep using the proxy after restarting the device, add the same option to the shortcut that starts Comeen Play at logon.

Right-click the shortcut, select Properties, and add the proxy option at the end of Target.

Also add --no-auto-launch so Comeen Play does not recreate its own startup entry without the proxy:

"...\Comeen Play.exe" --no-auto-launch --proxy-server=http://10.0.0.5:3128

4. Check the configuration

Restart the device.

Comeen Play should start automatically and display your content or a pairing code.

Why aren't the Windows proxy settings enough?

The proxy configured in the Windows network settings only applies to the web pages displayed by Comeen Play.

Comeen Play also downloads media files and application updates independently. These downloads do not use the Windows proxy setting. As a result, the screen may initially work but later display outdated or missing content.

Configuring Comeen Play using one of the methods above ensures that all of its connections go through the proxy.

Good to know

The proxy must not require a username and password. Instead, configure the proxy to allow the device based on its IP address.
If your proxy inspects HTTPS traffic, install its certificate on the device under Trusted Root Certification Authorities (Local Computer). No additional configuration is required in Comeen Play.
Allow these addresses through your proxy or firewall:
- display.dynamicscreen.xyz
- devices.play.comeen.com
- Any domains or addresses where your own media is hosted.
After reinstalling Comeen Play, configure it to use the proxy again.
For a new Windows user account, configure Comeen Play to use the proxy again.
