| ## Warning | ||||
|  | ||||
| Adding an extra layer like a proxy server **will** add more latency, thus increase the response time from your final server to your browser. That's why for the part where you are going to rent a proxy server, you should choose a server close to your existing server(s). | ||||
|  | ||||
| It should be noted, in the 4th step of the instructions, you will be able to remove this latency for a major part of the users of your instance (around 90% - people using modern browsers). The rest will experience this *added* latency which won't result in a decrease of the user experience if you choose your server wisely. | ||||

|   TL;DR: If you have "unlimited" bandwidth limit it's much better. | ||||

| - The proxy server should be close to your existing server(s), for minimal latency overhead. | ||||
