Art has the power to express what words cannot, but what happens when access to that art is blocked? For millions around the world, DeviantArt is a rich source of creativity. However, if you’re outside specific regions, particularly the U.S., you may find yourself locked out. Geo-blocks prevent access to this dynamic community, which can be very frustrating.
However, you don’t have to accept those limits. With the right proxy setup, you can bypass those barriers and dive back into DeviantArt’s creative universe. No tech jargon. No wasted time. Just straightforward steps that work.
Method 1: Leverage Proxy on Chrome
If you browse DeviantArt on Chrome, this method is your best friend. It takes minutes.
Step 1: Click the proxy icon on your Chrome toolbar. Sign in with your credentials.
Step 2: See your free or paid proxies listed? Choose one—pick the U.S. or any country you want. Hit “Connect.” Just like that, your browser’s traffic routes through the proxy.
Method 2: Set Up Proxy on Windows
Want every app on your PC to use the proxy, not just Chrome? This method’s for you.
Step 1: Open Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.
Step 2: Scroll to “Manual Proxy Setup.” Toggle “Use a proxy server” ON.
Step 3: Grab your proxy details (address, port, username, password) from your proxy dashboard. Enter them carefully. Double-check. Save.
Now your whole Windows device is surfing through your proxy. No extra software needed.
Method 3: Leverage Proxy on Android
Mobile counts. If you want DeviantArt anywhere, here’s how to do it on Android.
Step 1: Connect to a stable WiFi network.
Step 2: Tap the network’s settings gear, find “Advanced” or “Proxy” settings. Switch from “None” to “Manual.” Enter your proxy details and save.
Your Android traffic now routes through the proxy. Easy.
Switching Off Your Proxy
Done for the day? Switch it off with ease:
Chrome: Click “Disconnect” in the proxy extension.
Windows: Toggle “Use a proxy server” OFF in settings.
Android: Set proxy back to “None.”
Wrapping Up
Getting blocked shouldn’t stop your creativity. These proxy solutions give you control no matter where you are. Use them to reconnect with DeviantArt’s inspiring community and vibrant art world.
