Host + port + authentication
A typical setup uses a proxy hostname, port and either credentials or another supported access method.
Host: proxy.zenproxy.org
Port: 8080

HTTP proxy
A simple proxy path for HTTP-aware applications.
HTTP proxies are commonly supported by browsers, scripts and tools that expose conventional proxy settings.
What it does
The application sends its HTTP request to the proxy first.
The proxy then forwards the request toward the destination using the proxy endpoint as the next hop.
Apps with explicit HTTP proxy support
Use it where the software documentation specifically offers an HTTP proxy field or system proxy support.
It does not automatically proxy every app on the device
Only software configured to use that proxy—or traffic covered by an operating-system proxy setting—will follow the route.
Example flow
Browser → Zenproxy → website.
1
Browser
Configured with Zenproxy's HTTP proxy host and port.
2
Zenproxy
Accepts the supported request and forwards it using the chosen location.
3
Destination
Responds back through the same proxy path.
Need a more general proxy protocol?
SOCKS5 may be a better fit for applications that explicitly support it.
