Proxies (advanced)
This is an advanced setting that lets Sosyabot reach the internet through a different IP address. Almost everyone can ignore it.
Why use it
Most people never need this. You only touch it if an expert or your hosting provider specifically asked you to connect through their service for network reasons.
Step by step
Skip it unless told otherwise
If nobody told you to use a proxy, you are done. Leave this page alone and carry on as normal.
Open the proxies page
If an expert did ask you to set one up, open this page and click to add a new proxy.
Paste in the details you were given
Give it a name you will recognize, then paste the address and any sign-in details your provider gave you. Save when you are finished.
Not sure? Then you don't need it. This page is safe to ignore. :::
Good to know
- Each proxy you add has a name, an address, and optional sign-in details.
- You can turn a proxy on or off without deleting it.
- Sosyabot takes turns across the proxies you have switched on; if one stops working, it tries the next.

For developers
Sosyabot routes outbound media downloads (RSS, stock search imports, social-platform asset fetches) through any enabled proxies, rotating through them with a simple round-robin; failed attempts are retried against the next proxy in the list.
