Proxy servers are an intermediate link in the transfer of information, they are used if they want to remain anonymous when using the Internet. In this case, the real IP address of the user is substituted with the IP address of the proxy server. Or in order to bypass the restrictions imposed by the network administrator. For example, an admin can block access to certain sites, social networks (Facebook, Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte, etc.). To take advantage of the proxy server capabilities, do the following.
Instructions
Step 1
Find the addresses of the proxy servers through the search engine. They may or may not be free. To get free addresses, type free proxy in the search bar. The address looks like this: 123.110.21.109:8008. Here, the first group of numbers 123.110.21.109 is the server IP address, and the second 8008 is the port.
Step 2
Configure your browser to work with a proxy server. To do this, write down the IP address and port of the proxy server in the browser settings. If you have Mozilla Firefox: "Tools - Options - Advanced - Network - Connection - Configure - Manually configure the proxy service." In the case of Google Chrome, go to "options - settings - advanced - network - change proxy settings". For Opera it can be done like this: "Tools - Options - Advanced - Network - Proxies". For Internet Explorer 8: "Service - Internet Options -" Connections "tab -" Network Settings "button - uncheck the" Automatic detection of settings "checkbox and check the" Use a proxy server for local connections "checkbox. In the "Address" field, write the IP address of the proxy server, and in the "Port" field - the port address. Click on "OK". Restart your browser.
Step 3
Test your browser. Go to several sites. If the sites are loading, then everything is fine. If not, change the proxy to another. Enter other values for the IP address and port in the settings.
