Step-by-step proxy setup and configuration guide for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and all popular browsers.
Proxy settings are device or browser-level configurations that route your internet traffic through a proxy server. By entering the proxy server address (IP) and port number, setup can be completed in just a few minutes. Different protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 are suitable for different use cases.

First, make sure the proxy address and port number are entered correctly. Check if your firewall or antivirus software is blocking the proxy connection. Also, verify that your proxy provider's servers are active.
On Android, long-press on your connected Wi-Fi network to access proxy settings. On iPhone, go to Wi-Fi settings, tap the network details, and configure the HTTP Proxy section.
