How Do I Properly Configure Proxy Server Settings for Better Security? or What’s the Best Way to Conf

Thanks for all the tips, everyone! Tried the Windows Settings method and it worked, but my connection’s still slow.

Any idea why? Also, gonna test the Linux suggestions this weekend.

Btw, anyone know if Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 works with proxies? Saw it mentioned somewhere.

Cheers!
