# Proxy Support

Lightning has integrated proxy support. Take advantage of multiple instances by assigning unique IP addresses to them. This decreases the chances of being banned on sites.&#x20;

Simply insert the proxy when creating the profile.&#x20;

Proxies can be enabled/disabled through the drop down menu. Simply toggle the "Proxy" setting on or off. \\

{% hint style="info" %}
Your localhost (no proxy) will always outperform any proxy. It is recommend to only use proxies if you are running 3+ Lightning instances per site at the same time or monitoring restocks for long periods of time.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
