Proxy Configuration

Configure global proxy and per-domain matching proxy rules.

Global Proxy

Settings → General Download Settings → Proxy Server, fill in the proxy URL:

http://host:port
http://user:password@host:port
socks5://host:port
socks5://user:password@host:port

The http, https, socks4, and socks5 protocols are supported. All can carry username and password in the URL. Leave empty to use no proxy.

Proxy protocols supported by each download type

BitTorrent

Specify proxy by domain

Different proxies can be configured for specific domains through identity presets:

Settings → General Download Settings → Identity Presets → Add. Fill in the host match (supports *.example.com wildcards) and specify the proxy URL in the preset.

Downloads that match a preset use the preset proxy instead of the global one.

Proxy only affects download traffic. The connection between the browser extension and the desktop app does not go through the proxy.
