Adding a proxy to the Proxy Manager is just the beginning of managing your proxies. To save bandwidth and speed up your network, you need to set up local port forwarding.
Why you have to forward proxy in IPFighter?
Here's an example: you log in your IPFighter account on PC and you want to use proxy on your phone. If you set up proxy directly on your phone, you cannot save bandwidth or using any features of IPFighter on your phone.
However, forwarding proxy allows you to "forward" the proxy on a PC to a mobile through local network. Therefore, your phone can using any features available in IPFighter.
To add the forward port, click on "Add Forward Proxy" in the Forward Proxy section.
There are 2 options for adding forward port:
Option 1: Add proxy from Proxy Manager
First, click to the symbol of Proxy Manager.
Next, choose proxies from list and click "Forward Port".
Option 2: Add a new proxy list
First, choose connection type of proxy and fill in the proxy information in the box and click "Save". You can also add these new proxies to your Proxy Manager.
After adding proxy, you can edit the port of each proxy.
After you add Forward Proxy, Proxies will appear on the screen with column Action on the right.
After add proxies to Forward Proxy list, you must start the proxy before "forward" it networks to other devices.
You can run a single forward proxy or multiple forward proxies at the same time. Select the proxies you want to run and click the Start proxies in the top left corner.
Place cursor next to the proxy you want and click button copy Local IP.
Local IP is used to connect with browsers on the same device. LAN IP is used to connect with other deviced (another computer, smartphone, tablet,...)

Secondary proxies are added when you want a backup proxy. This means you can use two proxies at the same time. You can set rules to choose which proxy to use for different websites while you're browsing.
After you forward proxy successfully, this proxy will automatically become Primary Proxy.
