If Sys.setenv() works for you, you can put the line
http_proxy=http://192.2.0.1:8080/ (or an appropriate equivalent) into
an environment file that R reads when it starts up. Specifically, this
environment file could be named ".Renviron" and placed into your
Documents directory, but there are other options too:
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#What-are-HOME-and-working-directories_003f
(see questions 2.13 and 2.14 for what R considers "the home directory"
and how environment variables can be set).

It could be worth raising a feature request for automatic proxy
detection on Windows when libcurl download method is used, though I
don't know whether it would be practical to implement it.
