 ### Using a Proxy
 
-You can use a proxy by passing `requestOptions` with an `HttpsProxyAgent`
-instance. This can be done either globally through the config object or
-per-request in the parameters.
+> **Note:** SerpApi handles proxies on its end — you do **not** need to supply
+> your own proxy to avoid blocks or CAPTCHAs. This option is only for users who
+> need to route all outbound requests through a corporate or network proxy.
