Hello, I'm trying to use spotify, but I'm in Puerto Rico and it tells me I'm traveling. Anyway, I want to know what's the easiest way to get a specific program, not only the browser, with a proxy. Is there a program that can do that?

on linux, not too difficult(via iptables). On Windows, your program needs to have that support. If you program is some kind of .NET based, it is possible to control it via the .config file.

I'm on Windows and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have support for that. Is there really no way to do it then?

I think in internet connection settings you can tell Windows itself to run all connections through the proxy. I think you'll have to google to find specific instructions.

at the very least, tell us what program we are talking here. I don't think Windows itself has feature for broad range proxy of say 80/443(at the OS level like iptable). If you mean the 'internet options' in control panel, that would assume programs that use that feature. Not every program does. For example Firefox simply ignore it and has its own but Chrome does observe and use that setting.
That setting is also observed by all .NET applications if you set the proper things in the .config file.
EDIT:
a slightly convoluted solution(which I used before) is to run linux under a VM then set hosting machine's default router to the VM ip and use iptable from inside. very complicated but worked. Was playing it for fun. -
THe program is spotify
