Setting up a proxy in Brave

Brave Browser, built on Chromium, is the optimal solution for users who place a high priority on personal data protection. It should be noted that, unlike a number of alternative browsers, Brave integrates with your operating system's proxy settings instead of providing its own configuration interface. Below is a comprehensive guide to configuring proxy connections in Brave for various platforms.

**Supported protocols**: Brave is compatible with HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxy protocols when configured with the appropriate system settings or via the command line.

This guide is provided in English, as it is the most universal language for technical documentation. You can set your preferred interface language in your browser settings.

## **Obtaining data for connecting to a proxy on the CyberYozh app**

On the <a href="https://app.cyberyozh.com/proxy" target="_blank">website</a>, select the <a href="https://app.cyberyozh.com/blog/how-to-choose-and-buy-proxies-on-app-cyberyozh" target="_blank">proxy type</a> that suits you, taking into account the following parameters:
• Proxy type: mobile or residential
• IP type: static or dynamic
• Geolocation: select a country or region
• Provider: make sure it meets your requirements

After purchasing a proxy, you will receive the connection information:

- Host: Proxy IP address
- Port: Proxy port
- Proxy Username: Login
- Proxy Password: Password

Proxy example:

- Host: 172.98.60.180
- Port: 58763
- Login: 7XbvvWautzmOZMA
- Password: xdtAof3xB7RSmUr

## Proxy settings

Open your browser settings by clicking on the three-bar icon in the upper right corner and select **“Settings”**.

- **Address:** IP address
- **Port:** connection port

Important: use the HTTP protocol instead of SOCKS5 to work with your browser. If the protocol is not specified in the settings, check with technical support after purchasing the proxy.

After entering the data, click the “Save” button and return to the browser.

### Proxy authorization

If the login and password entry window does not appear, try restarting the Brave browser. In the window that appears, enter your username and password, then click “Login.”

### Completing the setup

After successfully authorizing the proxy server, you can check your access to Internet resources by making sure that the IP address matches the proxy. You can also check the geolocation of the proxy server and the speed of your Internet connection.
