# Apply a Proxy Configuration to a Connection Profile

You can add a proxy server to any connection profile in OpenVPN Connect.

> **Tip**
>
> Can I use a VPN and proxy together? Yes. VPNs and proxies both mask your IP address and redirect network traffic through the server, but you may have specific use cases handled by a proxy and others with your VPN. You can use both with a VPN client with native proxy support, like OpenVPN Connect.

## Before you begin

Ensure you have the following in OpenVPN Connect:

1. A [connection profile](https://openvpn.net/connect-docs/connection-profiles.md).
2. A [proxy configuration](https://openvpn.net/connect-docs/create-a-proxy-configuration.md).

## How to apply a proxy

1. Launch OpenVPN Connect.
2. Click or tap the **Edit** icon for the configuration profile you want to apply the proxy.
3. Under **Proxy**, select the desired proxy.
4. Click or tap **Save**.

Next time you connect with that profile, it also routes traffic through the proxy server.
