Discord has no proxy setting anywhere in its interface. The three ways to route it anyway, and the reason voice chat stops working the moment you succeed.

Windows has no proxy password field. Chrome's command line flag won't take one. Games and torrent clients ignore the system proxy entirely. The three real fixes, and which to use when.

Someone handed you 198.51.100.7:8080:hp_ir4k2:9fa2c1 and no instructions. This breaks the line into its four parts, shows the three ways the same proxy gets written, and says which one your tool wants.

Linux has no single proxy switch. This covers the desktop setting, the environment variables that work everywhere, why sudo apt ignores them, and how to check which one is actually in use.

The setting most guides skip is the one that matters: an HTTP proxy in qBittorrent covers the tracker and not your peer connections. Where the boxes are, which to tick, and how to check it actually applied.

Set a proxy on Android: where the setting hides inside your Wi-Fi network, what to type, why it only applies to Wi-Fi and not mobile data, and how to undo it.

Firefox keeps its own proxy settings and ignores your operating system. Here is where they are, what to type, and how to stop DNS leaking around a SOCKS proxy.

Set a proxy on iOS step by step: where it lives inside your Wi-Fi network, manual versus automatic, why it does not apply to mobile data, and how to switch it back off.

Set a proxy on macOS: where the setting moved to in Ventura and later, which of the protocol checkboxes to tick, adding a password, and how to switch it off.

Enter a proxy on Windows step by step: where the setting lives in Windows 11 and Windows 10, what to type in each box, how to add a password, and how to check it worked.
