Step 3: Add a Proxy

Find the proxies section (usually under extensions.zotero.proxies).
Click on Add Proxy or a similar option.
Fill in the required details:
- Proxy Name: A descriptive name for your proxy (e.g., your institution's name).
- Proxy URL: The base URL for the proxy (e.g., https://proxy.yourinstitution.edu).
- Proxy Pattern: A pattern that matches the URLs of the resources your institution provides access to (e.g., *.yourinstitution.edu).

Step 4: Save and Test the Proxy

After entering the details, click OK or Save.
Close the Preferences window.
To test the proxy, try accessing a resource that normally requires the proxy. If it works, your proxy is set up correctly.

Step 5: Managing Proxy Settings

You can manage multiple proxies in the same settings area, allowing you to switch between them as needed.
If you need to disable a proxy temporarily, you can do so by unchecking it in the proxy settings.

Additional Tips

Library Access: Make sure you have access to your institution's proxy settings. Sometimes, you may need to log in with your institutional credentials.
Zotero Connector: If you use the Zotero Connector in your browser, ensure that it is also set up to recognize your proxy settings for seamless citation and resource access.
