# Setup proxy for certain indexers
|
||||
|
||||
It's not recommend to run the Starr apps though a VPN, what can happen is that the Starr apps doesn't update the posters or metadata or you can't add new movies/tv shows, it doesn't need to happen right away. but sooner or later it can and probably will happen.
|
||||
|
||||
Just run VPN on the apps that actually need it, like your torrent client, and perhaps in some cases certain indexers because of region/isp restriction.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warning
|
||||
Please check the indexers rules if you're allowed to use a VPN/Proxy to access their site, being that VPN services often use shared IP it could be recognized as account sharing.
|
||||
|
||||
This isn't the same as the tracker, the API/Website scraping happens on the actual site and some indexers don't allow VPN usage on their site.
|
||||
|
||||
In this guide i will try to explain how to setup Prowlarr to use your vpn from your torrent client.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enable privoxy
|
||||
|
||||
If you use docker you need to enable enable privoxy in you torrent client so you can use it to passthrough traffic.
|
||||
|
||||
Please check your used docker image how to enable privoxy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Add privoxy to Prowlarr
|
||||
|
||||
