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

Hey, so a proxy in wifi is just a server that your internet traffic goes through before reaching the web. It can be used for security, privacy, or even to bypass geo-restrictions.

If your connection’s acting up, it *might* be because of a proxy, but it’s not super common unless you’re on a public network or at work/school.

You can check if you’re using a proxy by looking at your wifi settings or using a site like "IPLeak." If you find one and didn’t set it up, you can disable it and see if that fixes things.
