DNS, HTTP Proxy in Wi-Fi: Purpose and safety of disabling?

I have evaluated the answer given by ChatGPT and found it to be true.

ChatGPT says:

DNS (Configure DNS) on iOS

• DNS converts website names (like google.com) into numerical IP addresses so your device can find the website.
• Automatic: Uses your internet provider’s DNS (default and usually fine).
• Manual: Lets you enter DNS servers such as from Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1).

✅ Recommendation: Leave it on Automatic unless you specifically want a different DNS service.

HTTP Proxy

• A proxy routes your internet traffic through another server before reaching the website.
• Mostly used by offices or schools for monitoring or filtering.

✅ Recommendation: For home Wi-Fi, keep it Off.

Be cautious of "ChatGPT", as there are rumors of a current event going around (locally) of kids hacking fellow students at a local school. I kinda chuckle how everyone seems to freak out about saying the two-letter coinciding "AI" with the AI Boom going abroad.
