Your PS4 might be asking for a proxy server if your internet settings are misconfigured. Check your network settings and ensure you’ve selected 'Do Not Use' when prompted for a proxy server.

You may have accidentally turned on the proxy server setting. Go to Settings > Network > Set Up Internet Connection, and select 'Do Not Use' under Proxy Server.

Just ignore it! Seriously, unless you specifically need a proxy for privacy or network reasons, leave it set to 'Do Not Use'.

It could be that your PS4 is trying to connect through a network that requires a proxy. Make sure to check with your internet service provider or network admin if you aren't sure.
