# Custom Proxy

> Connect and validate a proxy from your own provider for a BrowserAct Bot.

Use Custom Proxy when you already have a proxy provider or need a network route managed outside BrowserAct.

`Check proxy` verifies that the proxy is reachable before the Bot uses it.

## Manage Custom Proxies

After a Custom Proxy is added, you can select it for the Bot or edit and delete it from the Custom Proxy list.

BrowserAct does not manage the availability, location, rotation policy, or billing of proxies supplied by third-party providers.
