# Set a Proxy

If you want to set a proxy, you can do it by passing an `httr::use_proxy` instance into the `request_config` parameter when calling the `Bot` object:

    bot <- Bot(token = "TOKEN", request_config = httr::use_proxy(...))

Also, the same `request_config` parameter can be passed through the `Updater` object:

    updater <- Updater(token = "TOKEN", request_config = httr::use_proxy(...))

The details for the proxy settings can be found in `?httr::use_proxy`.
