 # How does it work?
 
-This works by creating a capture server and pointing **gdpseditor.com** and **game.gdpseditor.com** to it using Pi-hole.\
+This works by creating a capture server and a proxy server and connecting to it using a proxy app on your device. The proxy redirects all connections to the GDPS Server to the capture server.
 Then when the client on your device tries to backup the data it will be redirected to the capture server and it will be saved to **CCGameManager** and **CCLocalLevels**.
