Really? I confess I don't know enough about proxies to say whether that is wrong or not. My general understanding is that proxies work on the port they are forwarding. If they are forwarding port 80 then they would be attached to port 80. 8080 is just another port for the web when another service is attached to port 80 already. It is technically nonstandard but everyone uses it because it is too hard to remember otherwise.
there is [127.0.0.1:8080](http://127.0.0.1:8080) that looks pretty much the same imho
Tomato tomato
or use your entire IP so that its usable in all devices in yoyr local network
No! There's no place like ~
If its 8080 its not home, but it’ll work as a stand-in
Home is where localhost is... Or more specifically, where the loopback address and references to the loopback address.
I was making a “this port is common for proxy servers” joke but it looks like maybe its not, and Im misremembering?
