Is my proxy server slowing down my internet? How can I fix it? or Why is my proxy server not working

Hey! Yeah, your proxy server could totally be the issue. If it's overloaded or poorly configured, it can bottleneck your connection.

Try bypassing it temporarily to see if speeds improve. If they do, you might need to switch providers or tweak settings.

Tools like Pingdom or SpeedTest can help compare speeds with/without the proxy. Also, check if your proxy has a closer server location—distance matters!
