Proxies are Gemini servers that allow you to request a different URL scheme, but return back data using the Gemini protocol. For example, a Gopher proxy would allow you to request a `gopher://` URL, but would maybe return back gemtext.

Gopher

In Amfora you can specify these proxies so that certain types of URLs will not require opening another application.

Config

[proxies]
# Allows setting a Gemini proxy for different schemes.
# The settings are similar to the url-handlers section above.
# E.g. to open a gopher page by connecting to a Gemini proxy server:
#   gopher = "example.com:123"
#
# Port 1965 is assumed if no port is specified.
#
# NOTE: These settings override any external handlers specified in
# the url-handlers section.
#
# Note that HTTP and HTTPS are treated as separate protocols here.

Note that Amfora also allows specifying external handlers for different URL schemes in the `[url-handlers]` section of the config file. More information regarding them can be found in the Handling Other URL Schemes. The proxy settings override these settings.
