Is My Proxy Slowing Down My Internet? How Can I Fix It? or Why Does My Proxy Keep Disconnecting? Any

For real tho, check if your proxy has a "split tunneling" feature. Lets you route only certain traffic through it (like just your browser).

Might help if your whole system’s lagging. Also, reboot your router—sounds basic but fixes weird connection drops sometimes.

If all else fails, hit up your proxy’s support. They might have hidden settings or server recs.
