Invoke Proxy

In the settings bar (home screen), select "Network Settings" and then click on Ethernet. Here you should select the "Advanced Settings" option, which contains the "Proxy Server Settings" item. To further configure the proxy, select "Configure Manually", type in the proxy hostname and specify the port. Do not forget to list the domains that the proxy server should not use. You should leave this field empty if it does not exist. If the configuration process is successful, you will see the "Settings saved" notification.

To reset proxy settings, you can follow these steps depending on your operating system:

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the Internet Properties window.
3. Click on the "Connections" tab.
4. Click on "LAN settings" in the bottom right corner.
5. In the "Proxy Server" section, select "Automatically detect settings" and click "OK".
6. Close the Internet Properties window.

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between client and server parts of distributed network applications. The role of a transit node provides a logical break in the direct connection between the server and the client. A proxy server can also act as a firewall if the traffic it controls does not go through a workaround.

It means a proxy that has no access to the Internet. It is created using special software on the user's computer. Most often it is used to check the performance of the created site or web-application.

In PlayStation 4 and 5, setting up a proxy server follows a similar algorithm. It is necessary to go to the "Library", select "Settings", open the tab "Network Settings". In the window that appears, click on "Network". Then choose the type of connection you are using. It will be offered to set the DHCP, DNS and then the proxy server parameters step by step. And here you can enable it by manually entering the necessary settings.
