How to set up a proxy server on PlayStation? Step-by-step instruction
Online games are increasingly being blocked for a variety of reasons. Many gamers
want to know how to deal with the restrictions and what they can do to keep playing.
This article will explain how to set up a proxy for Playstation.
Which proxies are recommended for PlayStation?
Static proxy servers work well for PlayStation. However, make sure they are from the
category "for all sites" and allow you to change the authorization type to IP-based
authorization.
How to check the proxy?
To ensure the proxy is suitable for PlayStation, follow these steps:
- check that the proxy is functional using the checker;
- verify that you can change the authorization type;
- check that the proxy works on your device - set it up in your browser, and
log in with your username and password.
If you encounter any difficulties during this stage of the test, please contact
your proxy provider's technical support. If everything is functioning properly,
you may proceed to set up the proxy on your PlayStation.
How to set up a proxy on PlayStation
Follow the step-by-step algorithm to set up a proxy on PlayStation:
1. Find out your console's IP address. To do this, open the Settings section
in PlayStation and navigate to either "System" or "Network" (depending
on the version - PS4 or PS5). On PS4, select "System Information", there
will be a line IP address; on PS5, select "View Connection Status",
there will be a line IPv4 address.
2. Change the authorization type to "By IP" in the personal proxy account
and specify the console's IP address.
3. To establish a connection on your PlayStation, return to the Settings
menu and select "Network". If you are using WiFi, select your network
and then navigate to "Advanced Settings".
4. Set the parameters: IP address, DNS, MTU - automatically, DHCP
host - do not specify. Then save these settings by clicking OK.
5. To establish a connection, navigate to the Proxy section, check the
box next to "Use", and enter the IP address and port number. Then
click "OK" and wait for the connection to be established. If you
are using a LAN connection, be sure to select it.
Conclusion
Proxies can be used to bypass regional blocking. For instance, PlayStation, being
a Sony product, may not be available in certain regions. Using proxies for "white"
purposes is legal and not considered an offense.
