The proxy allows you to hide the real IP-address, thereby bypassing possible restrictions (for example, downloads), banning the site / forum and generally making your online presence anonymous. Finding a proxy is not difficult, there are many different options.
Instructions
Step 1
Before using a proxy server, you need to go into your browser and check in the settings, is it possible to use a proxy? If not, then allow it. Otherwise, even when the proxy is started (through the program), the proxy will not work.
Step 2
The simplest type of proxy is an anonymizing site. There you just need to specify the site address, and you will find yourself there anonymously (under a proxy). The method allows you not to worry about finding the required proxy or even the server program at all. However, due to the fact that the method is very simple and its possibilities are very limited. A simple example of such a site
Step 3
There are special programs that find proxies through their search, the easiest to use is Hide IP Platinum, but, perhaps, since many people use it at once and proxies are repeated many times, this significantly affects the connection speed. Therefore, of course, it is better to use something faster for convenient Internet use.
Step 4
The most interesting option is the ProxySwitcher Standard program, it can both find proxies through its search (there are thousands to choose from), and use your specified addresses. It is better, of course, to use special addresses through this program, since there are fewer of them, and if you look in special places, then they are of better quality. Also, a great feature of this program is a relatively fast proxy check for performance.
Step 5
To bring the mechanism to work, it is enough to find the correct proxy address and place it in the ProxySwitcher Standard list. Search for proxies, best of all here: https://www.aliveproxy.com/fastest-proxies/. As you can see, both a small list and a good speed, quite suitable for comfortable using the Internet anonymously.
