Hey there! The short answer is yes, *can other people connect to the proxy i set up* if it’s not secured. But don’t worry, it’s fixable.
You can set up authentication (username/password) or restrict access to specific IPs. If you’re using a popular proxy software like Squid, it’s super easy to configure.
To monitor connections, you can use tools like `iftop` or `nload` for real-time traffic monitoring. Or just check the logs if your proxy software supports it.
If you’re still unsure, maybe check out some tutorials on YouTube—they’re great for visual learners.
