How to access HTTP/HTTPS sites through Webproxy

Hi,
We have a enterprise network and our branches working on MPLS link. Our branches need to put the proxy address in their computer in order to access the internet. So, I need to configure a Webproxy through which we can access HTTP & HTTPS sites.

We have a Mikrotik CCR1016-12G router with 10Mbps ILL link.

What should I do now?

Nothing changes. You still must configure your enterprise proxy address in your computer browser.
