How to set up proxy for PSN on PS4/5

Most often, problems accessing your favorite games on PlayStation occur due to regional or local restrictions. You may be located where the game or add-on is restricted. Another reason for the problem is the blocking of the Wi-Fi network. But all this can be bypassed by setting up a proxy on PSN.

A proxy will also help you bypass Wi-Fi or local network blocking, protect from hacks and malware, and speed up your Internet connection; a cheap ISP proxy with a stable, provider-assigned static IP keeps the console connection consistent. Your console will work quickly, without interruptions and restrictions.

Therefore, if you already have a reliable proxy server, let's move on to setting it up.

Step-by-step proxy settings on PS4/PS5

In this way, you can set up a proxy server for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, since the interface is almost the same. Follow our instructions:

1. Turn on the console and open the "Settings" section.

1. Select the "Network" category.

1. Then select "Set Up Internet Connection".

1. Open the "Use Wi-Fi" section.

1. Enter your network password and click “OK”.

1. Select the "Custom" connection method.

1. A list of available networks will open. Select and connect to your Wi-Fi network.

1. In the "DHCP Host Name" section, select "Do Not Specify".

1. In the "DNS Settings" section, select "Automatic".

1. In the "MTU" section, also select "Automatic".

1. In the "Proxy Server" section, select "Use".

1. Now enter the IP address and Port of your proxy server in the fields.

1. Click the "Next" button. The setup is completed.

To configure a proxy on PS4 and PS5, only cheap IPv4 proxies with authorization by a static main IP are suitable; authorization by the Username and Password method will not work.

How to check if the proxy is working

To check the proxy for performance, go to "Test Internet Connection". If “Successful” is displayed in the “Obtain IP Address” section, you did everything right. The setup is completed.

You have successfully set up a proxy for PSN. Servers will protect you from blocking and help you bypass all restrictions, especially if you buy cheap proxies from a high-quality private provider.

A note on proxy type: because PS4 and PS5 accept only static, IP-authorized proxies, rotating options are not a fit for the console itself. A cheap mobile proxy, which routes through mobile-carrier IPs, is better kept for mobile-app or social-media tasks rather than PSN setup.
