To configure an upstream proxy in AdGuard for Mac in Big Sur, open AdGuard's settings *Preferences → Network → Outbound proxy*. Click the *Value* area of the `upstream.proxy` setting to configure a proxy.
To configure an upstream proxy in AdGuard for Mac in Big Sur:

Enter a string that looks like `scheme://user:password@host:port`, where

- `scheme` is either `http`, `https`, `socks4` or `socks5`, depending on your proxy type,

If you use `socks5` proxy type, set the value of the `upstream.proxy.socks5udp` setting to `true` to make AdGuard route UDP traffic to the proxy server.

- `user` and `password` are corresponding username and password of your proxy (if needed). Ignore either or both when not applicable,
- `host` is the IP address of your proxy server,
- `port` is the desired port number to be used by the proxy server.

:::note Example

`socks5://localhost:6322` will configure a SOCKS5 local proxy that listens to port 6322 and doesn't require a username or a password.

:::

Click *Apply* to make AdGuard route all traffic that went through it to the configured proxy server.
1. Open AdGuard's settings  *Preferences → Network → Outbound proxy*.
2. Choose HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5, depending on your proxy type.
3. Fill in the fields:
- `host` is the IP address of your proxy server,
- `port` is the desired port number to be used by the proxy server,
- `user` and `password` are corresponding username and password of your proxy (if needed). Ignore either or both when not applicable.

If you run into any problems, please contact our tech support at support@adguard.com.

In Big Sur v11.1+, there are no known conflicts between AdGuard and Surge proxy. If you are using an older version of Big Sur (prior to 11.1), check that **System Proxy** in the bottom right corner is disabled. Otherwise, Surge won't work with AdGuard. On the other hand, **Enhanced Mode** can be enabled without causing a conflict in any Big Sur version.

Now go to *AdGuard menu → Advanced → Advanced Settings...* and set the *Value* area of the `upstream.proxy` setting to `socks5://localhost:6153` or `http://localhost:6152`, depending on which type of proxy you want to use. Notice that you need to use **port** value that's indicated in the **Events** area of the **Activity** tab in your Surge client.
Now go to *Preferences → Network → Outbound proxy* and fill in the fields.
For SOCKS5 proxy type:

If you chose SOCKS5 protocol, you also need to set the value of the `upstream.proxy.socks5udp` setting in AdGuard Advanced Settings to `true` to make AdGuard route UDP traffic to the proxy server.
- `host`: localhost
- `port`: 6153
For HTTP proxy type:
- `host`: localhost
- `port`: 6152
