How do I find the proxy address of my Mac?

There are apps that will tell you, including the system settings, and the internet settings of the browser.

How does this actually work?
The way it usually works is that the Mac makes a request to a web server, but instead of it being answered by a web server you're connected to, you get the answer by a computer at a network address in another part of the world, perhaps in Hong Kong or Amsterdam. They have a computer out in the field, on the other side of the world making the request, which it gets passed through your local computer, back to your Mac, and finally, as the answer comes back, it's passed on to the computer that responded. The internet doesn't actually use addresses, it uses names. The internet doesn't have unique addresses, it has unique names.

That's why when you're browsing the internet in Chrome or Safari or a site that doesn't know what you're using, the URL ends in www.example.com, they send the request to www.com which might be in Amsterdam. That's how proxy works.

What is a proxy server?

A web proxy is used to make an existing network connection appear to be part of a different network. With a web proxy in place, data packets can travel through your device without being modified by your internet provider.

Web proxies were first introduced with mobile phones and modems that used the GSM protocol to connect to the internet. Today it's much more common for devices using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or other protocols to act as a proxy.

How do I use a proxy on iOS? Connect the internet. As you are connecting to the internet through the same source as those on Android or other devices that support the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), you are not able to access certain websites. You should ensure your network allows access to the website. Many providers block IPv6 connections but some allow access to IPv6 only in rare circumstances. Look for the IPv6 icon or address if you receive any messages when accessing certain websites.

On your iPhone or iPad, open Safari and go to Settings > Safari > General > Advanced. Tick "Show Develop menu in menu bar" under "Show Develop Menu".
