Now let’s answer the questions about using the proxy server for PS4 and PS5.
Why and who needs proxies for PlayStation?
Most often, proxies are used to bypass regional blocks. Now, some part of Sony products is not available in some countries. Furthermore, there is always a risk of getting banned or facing restrictions in a game. Proxy can help solve these issues comprehensively.
Is it legal to use proxy servers for PS5 (or PS4)?
Yes, it is. Any method of proxy use for legal purposes is allowed.
Why using a proxy is better than using VPN?
The device itself provides the ability to configure proxies. Thus, it takes less time than VPN configuration and provides constant server operation.
It is convenient to maintain a stable connection with a proxy. It allows you not to lose the quality and speed of the game.
We recommend you consider purchasing proxies because free servers are unreliable and often get blocked.
We offer various types of proxies at reasonable prices and on favorable terms. For example, we have discounts on manual (-20%) and autorenewal (-25%) available on the site.
