3. HTTP Proxy: `127.0.0.1` Port: `8118`
4. Check "Also use this proxy for HTTPS"
5. OK

### Chrome

1. Install "Proxy SwitchyOmega" extension
2. New Profile → HTTP `127.0.0.1:8118`
3. Apply → Select profile

## Step 4: Browse KayakNet (Instant!)

Open your browser and go to:

| URL                 | What It Is  |
| ------------------- | ----------- |
| `http://home.kyk`   | Homepage    |
| `http://chat.kyk`   | Chat        |
| `http://market.kyk` | Marketplace |

## You're Done!

### What's Next?

* **Chat**: Join `#general` on `chat.kyk`
* **Marketplace**: Browse listings on `market.kyk`
* **Domains**: Register your .kyk domain

### Quick Commands

```bash
# Run in background (Linux/macOS)
nohup ./kayakd --bootstrap 203.161.33.237:4242 --proxy &

# Check if running
curl --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8118 http://home.kyk

# Stop the node
pkill kayakd
```

### Troubleshooting

**"Address already in use"**

```bash
# Find and kill existing process
lsof -i :4242
kill <PID>
```

**"Connection refused"**

* Make sure node is running
* Check proxy port is 8118

**Can't see home.kyk**

* Verify proxy settings in browser
* Try refreshing after 30 seconds (first connection takes time)
