How to configure a proxy server on a Mac?

When you configure a proxy server on your Mac, applications will send their network traffic through the proxy server before going to their destination. This may be required by your employer to bypass a firewall, or you may want to use a proxy to bypass geoblockingand access websites that aren’t available in your country.

Step 1: open network preferences

Step 2: input parameters in sequence (default gateway address)

Step 3: set the proxy server address

Select web proxy and enter the IP and port number obtained from Roxlabs.

If there’s a problem with the proxy server settings—for example, if the proxy server goes down or if you entered the details incorrectly—you’ll see a network error message when using applications like Safari and Google Chrome. For example, Safari will say it can’t find the server you’re trying to access, while Chrome will display a more descriptive “ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED” error message. You’ll need to fix your proxy server settings to continue.
