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

21 Replies, 1467 Views

A proxy in wifi is like a middleman that handles your internet traffic. It can be used for privacy, security, or even to access blocked sites.

If your connection’s acting weird, 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 tool like "Proxy Detector." If you find one and didn’t set it up, you can disable it and see if that fixes things.
