Route it your way: Setting up proxies in Brave

If you want more control over your network routing or need to test something via another location, learning how to set up proxies in Brave can be a game changer. I read a guide on Browserfythat walks through it, and here’s what stood out:

You can configure proxies at different levels: system, browser, or per profile.

Brave supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS proxies—so you can choose what fits your purpose.

It’s important to check for DNS leaks or IP exposure, because a proxy is only as good as its privacy-clean setup.

Once configured, you can switch proxies per profile or disable them quickly if something goes wrong.

If you’re working across networks or testing region-specific content, a proper proxy setup helps you stay secure and in control.
