Answer
Find devenv.exe.config in your installation directory.
Now open this text file and add the node <defaultProxy> inside the node <system.net>.
<system.net>
<defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" enabled="true">
<proxy bypassonlocal="true" proxyaddress="http://yourproxyaddress.net:8080" />
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
If your proxy requires authentication, you should add those as parameters in the proxy URL
<system.net>
<defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" enabled="true">
<proxy bypassonlocal="true" proxyaddress="http://Username:[email protected]:8080" />
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
