Can someone explain the proxy settings meaning and how they work? or What exactly is the proxy settin

Proxy settings meaning = internet middleman.

It can:
- Hide your IP
- Cache data (faster loads sometimes)
- Filter content (work/school networks love this)

Downside? Slower if the proxy’s overloaded.

VPNs are better for security, but proxies are simpler.

Try ProxyCap if you wanna force apps to obey proxy settings.
