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

16 Replies, 949 Views

So, a proxy in wifi is basically a server that your internet traffic goes through. It can be useful for privacy or accessing blocked sites, but it can also slow down your connection if the server is slow or far away.

If you’re not sure if you’re using one, check your wifi settings. If it’s on and you don’t need it, disabling it might help speed things up.

For checking, you can use tools like "BrowserLeaks" to see if your traffic is going through a proxy. It’s pretty simple to use!
