  2. Click on “Network & internet”.
  3. Look for “Proxy” and click on it.

Here are two options to find instructions for your device:

  1. Look for a section on Wi-Fi or network settings. 
  2. Do a quick web search for “[your device model] + configure proxy”. For example, if you have a Samsung Galaxy S22, you could search for “Samsung Galaxy S22 configure proxy”.
