What proxy settings are and what they do
Proxy settings are a set of rules that determine how your browser connects to the internet. When you connect to a website, your browser first sends a request to the proxy server. The proxy server then forwards the request to the website’s server. The website’s server then responds to the request and sends the response back to the proxy server. The proxy server then forwards the response back to your browser.
