What is Proxy in WiFi and How Does It Affect Your Internet Connection?

16 Replies, 963 Views

A proxy in wifi is like a gateway for your internet traffic. It can help with privacy or bypassing restrictions, but it can also slow things down if the server isn’t great.

If your internet feels slow, it might be worth checking if a proxy is enabled. You can do this in your device’s network settings. If it’s on and you don’t need it, just turn it off.

Also, some proxies aren’t secure, so be careful. If you’re not techy, it’s probably best to avoid using one unless you really need it.
