What is my proxy and how do I find it? – Quick Help Needed! or Can someone explain what is my proxy a

lol not a dumb question at all! Proxies are just servers that handle your internet requests. Schools/workplaces use ‘em to control access.

To find what is my proxy:
- Windows: Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN settings.
- Mac: System Prefs > Network > Advanced > Proxies tab.

If you see auto-detect or manual settings, that’s your proxy. No settings? You’re proxy-free.

Btw, if you’re paranoid about tracking, a VPN is better. Try NordVPN or ProtonVPN for starters.
