General

This section allows you to enter details of your Proxy Server.

Note: Kodi does not provide a Proxy service, nor is one needed for normal use. It is up to the user to locate and setup a suitable Proxy Service if one is required.

Note: Kodi does not have settings to adjust Internet access. That is the responsibility of the underlying operating system. If you have connectivity issues check the Internet settings, firewall, modem/router and anti-virus settings in your operating system.
