* NOTE: On mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android) Proxy configuration can cause a significant portion of network traffic to be routed through the Main Library server. This can result in slower internet performance or problems with some applications. Therefore, it is recommended to enable the proxy only when using the databases and disable it when you are finished.On PCs, CFG/PAC configuration automatically recognizes when a proxy should be used, so it doesn't affect all network traffic.
So, in other words: on your phone and tablet, use a proxy only when you need it, and then disable it to avoid slowing down your data transfer.
