yo, good question! *can other people connect to the proxy i set up*? depends on how you configured it. if you didn’t add any restrictions, then yeah, it’s open.
you can lock it down by:
- adding a password (most proxies support this)
- whitelisting specific IPs (your friends/coworkers)
- using a VPN to tunnel the proxy (extra secure)
to see who’s connected, check your proxy logs or use a tool like Wireshark to monitor traffic.
btw, if you’re using something like Nginx or Apache as a proxy, they have built-in logging features.
