This guide will help you understand how to configure proxy settings for your application.

  • What is a Proxy? A proxy is an intermediary server that acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet. It can be used to enhance privacy, bypass geo-restrictions, or improve performance.

  • Why Use a Proxy?

    • Privacy: Hide your IP address and encrypt your data.
    • Security: Protect against malicious websites and attacks.
    • Performance: Access content faster and reduce load times.

  • Types of Proxies

    • Transparent Proxy: The proxy server is unknown to the end-user.
    • Anonymous Proxy: The proxy server hides your IP address but does not encrypt your data.
    • High anonymity Proxy: The proxy server hides your IP address and encrypts your data.

  • How to Configure a Proxy

    2. Navigate to the settings or preferences menu.
    3. Look for the proxy settings option.
    4. Enter the proxy server address and port number.
