+              <p>When an application needs to make a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (<abbr title="Cross-Origin Resource Sharing">CORS</abbr>) request using the <cite><a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#cors-protocol" rel="cito:citesAsAuthority">CORS protocol</a></cite> [<cite><a class="bibref" href="#bib-fetch">FETCH</a></cite>], the recipient server may not participate in CORS or may often be improperly configured for it. This poses challenges for interoperability in environments like Solid.</p>
+
+              <p>One way for applications to practically bypass this limitation in some situations is by using a trusted or preferred proxy. An application can discover a resource's advertised proxy via the <code>solid:proxy</code> property. While any resource, such as a storage, could advertise a proxy, applications can also discover an agent's preferred proxy by checking this property in their WebID Profile Document.</p>
+
+              <p>Additionally, using a proxy allows applications to mask their <code>Origin</code>, enhancing privacy and security during requests. This capability can further protect user data in decentralised environments, though it may not fully address all related challenges on its own.</p>
