What Does Thread Mean?

In the world of proxies, a thread acts like a separate pathway within a program or app. It's a clever way for software to handle many tasks at once, instead of one after the other.

For proxies, threads are super helpful. They let the proxy server manage lots of connections or requests all at once. This speed boost means the proxy can handle more tasks quickly, making everything run smoother and faster.

When setting up a proxy, you might need to decide how many threads it uses. This just means choosing how many tasks it can handle at the same time. The more threads, the more tasks it can juggle simultaneously.

In summary, a thread as a mini-pathway inside a program, making proxies work faster and smarter by handling lots of tasks at once.
