There are special tools developed to check if a proxy is working. There are a large number of appropriate services and programs on the Internet. Any software that works in a general way should be excluded from their number. To use online checkers to check the quality and validity of a proxy, just specify your IP address and port number in the fields provided.
The basic configuration is written in nginx.conf file in the program directory. You need to create a server article and specify there the port number and the place for cached data. Thus, for example, by using port 8080 you may organize a local proxy to test your own sites.
A proxy server spoofs the IP address, port, and hardware information. It can also act as a secure gateway for data transmission in an already encrypted form (for example, this is how a proxy with the SOCKS5 protocol works).
Regular Windows functionality has a minimum of settings for proxies. Therefore, it is recommended to use third-party applications for this purpose. For example, Proxy Switcher or Proxifier. There you can not only set the server characteristics but also, for example, create a folder for packets of traffic that are transmitted through the local network.
The current version of Skype does not have built-in functionality to work with proxies. That is, it must be configured at the operating system level. The messenger is available for Linux, Windows, MacOS and mobile platforms.
