Hey! So, to answer your question, *can other people connect to the proxy I set up?* Yes, they can if it's not secured properly. If you didn’t set up any authentication (like a password), anyone who knows your IP or domain can hop on.
You can lock it down by setting up a username/password combo or using IP whitelisting. Tools like Squid Proxy make this pretty easy. Also, if you’re worried about people seeing your stuff, make sure you’re using HTTPS for secure connections.
Check out this guide for Squid: [link]. It’s beginner-friendly and walks you through securing your proxy step by step.
