Usage and Limitations of weblink #5

Hi! I was just writing to ask how can we tell if weblink is running properly? I added proxy settings to my windows manual proxy settings. I'm using weblink to siphon off my phone's high speed data, so if I did a speed test on my laptop, would it reflect the same speeds as my phone?

If not, how should I add the proxy settings to chrome / operagx ?

Thank You!!

Hi @smirki Thanks for the questions. Yes, assuming the connection between your laptop and phone is not the bottleneck, the speed will be limited by the bandwidth of your cellular connection.

Chrome and other browsers normally use the system proxy settings:

You can tell that weblink is running properly if it prints log messages like these:
