problem description

I have a cobalt instance running on my home server and I want to download youtube and tiktok videos without any problems (yeah, I live in Russia)

Is there any way I can use cobalt with proxy servers that they connect to youtube and tiktok?

your instance configuration

Hey, yes, you can use proxy. Just add to environment
HTTP_PROXY: "http://proxy.domain.tld:3128" (method://ip or fqdn:port)
