1 Residential Proxy

An access point (AP) is a device that creates a wireless local area network (WLAN) and allows devices to connect to a wired network. Proxy settings on an access point refer to the configuration of the AP to use a proxy server for internet traffic.

A proxy on an access point serves the following purposes:

1. Anonymity: By routing internet traffic through a proxy server, the AP can help conceal the identity and location of devices connected to the network. This can be useful in situations where anonymity is desired or required.

2. Content filtering: A proxy server can be configured to block or allow access to specific websites or content based on predefined rules. This can be helpful for organizations that want to control and monitor the internet usage of their users.

3. Bandwidth management: Using a proxy server, an access point can limit or prioritize the bandwidth for specific applications or users. This can help manage network resources and ensure fair usage.

4. Caching: Proxy servers can cache frequently accessed content, reducing the amount of data that needs to be downloaded from the internet. This can improve performance and reduce bandwidth usage.

SIP is a virtual telephony service. A proxy server in this case is used to collect traffic, its conversion and further transmission to the subscriber via cellular communication. It is mainly used by call centers to communicate with customers.

In Key Collector settings, the user can specify parameters of the proxy server through which the program will connect to the network. In the application window, first select "Settings", then go to the "Network" tab and check "Use proxy". Its parameters can be set either manually or through a configuration file.

Go to the settings (the icon in the form of three dots) and open the section "Settings". In the tab at the very bottom, click on "Advanced settings". Click on "Open proxy settings for computer" and in the window that appears, click on "Network settings". Find the line "Automatic detection of parameters", uncheck it, and then, in the section "Proxy", activate the option "Use a proxy server". Enter the proxy host and port in the appropriate fields, and then click "Apply".

In Windows 8 and later editions it is recommended to setup network proxy through Group Policy. To do this, run GPMC.msc (via "Run" or enter in the "Search"), then select the section with the users, from the list of parameters select "Internet Settings". Further settings are not different from the standard ones in Windows. You can set proxy, specify the start page, enter restrictions and so on.
