Steps to Configure a Proxy Server on a PS4 Router

As we all know, PlayStation 4 (PS4 for short) is a popular gaming console. However, sometimes we may encounter some limitations, such as not being able to access specific online game content or downloading updates slowly. An effective way to solve these problems is to configure a proxy server through your router. So, let's bring the spirit of explorer and explore this amazing PS4 router proxy server configuration journey!

Preparations: assembling the team

Before embarking on this adventure, we need to make some preparations. First, make sure you have a reliable router and a network cable connecting your PS4 to the router. Next, we need to confirm the required proxy server information, including IP address and port number. This information is usually provided by the proxy service provider. Also, make sure that your PS4 is connected to the Internet. Once everything is ready, we can start the real adventure!

Step 1: Go to Network Options in PS4 Settings

Now, let's get to the world of PS4. Turn on your PS4 console and go to the main menu. Then, scroll down to find the "Settings" option and click on it. In "Settings", we need to select the "Network" option in order to proceed with the configuration.

Step 2: Configure the network connection

Okay, now it's time for us to configure the PS4's internet connection with a proxy server. Under the "Network" option, we are going to select the "Set up an Internet connection" option. Next, select the type of internet connection you are currently using, either wired or wireless. Choose according to your situation and proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Proxy Server Settings

This is our most important step and the most important turning point in the adventure! Here, select "Automatic" to configure the IP address and then "Manual" to configure the proxy server. Next, fill in the IP address and port number of the proxy server. Make sure you enter the correct information and double-check it, just like an explorer checking a map in the wilderness. When you're done, save the settings and test the connection. If all goes well, congratulations, you've successfully configured your PS4's proxy server!
