Arc Browser does not support direct proxy configuration within the app itself. To use a NodeMaven proxy with Arc, set the proxy up at the operating system level, as shown below for Windows.

Set up the proxy on Windows for Arc

1

Open network settings

Right-click the network icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen, then click Network & Internet settings.
Windows network icon context menu with Network and Internet settings

4

Enter the gateway and port

In the Proxy IP address field, enter gate.nodemaven.com.For the Port, use 8080 for HTTP or 1080 for SOCKS5.
Other ports are also available. HTTP accepts ports from 8080 up to 9080, and SOCKS5 accepts ports from 1080 up to 2080. An alternative SOCKS5 port such as 1081 is the usual fix when your network blocks 1080. See Protocols and ports.
NodeMaven supports HTTP and SOCKS5 only. Enter the gateway as a bare hostname - do not prefix it with https:// or any other scheme.
