Call2Friends Proxy

A reverse proxy is mainly used by administrators and is responsible for balancing workload and high availability. The reverse proxy redirects received requests to one of its web servers. From the outside it is completely invisible and looks as if all required resources are concentrated directly in the proxy.

To connect to a proxy server on Linux, you can use various methods depending on your needs and the applications you want to route through the proxy. Here's a general guide on how to connect to a proxy server on Linux using the proxychains tool:

Install proxychains:
First, you need to install the proxychains tool on your Linux system. You can install it using your package manager. For example, on Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu), you can install it using the following command:

sudo apt-get install proxychains

On Fedora-based systems, you can use:

sudo dnf install proxychains

On Arch Linux, you can use:

sudo pacman -S proxychains

Edit the proxychains.conf file:
After installing proxychains, you need to edit the proxychains.conf file to configure the proxy settings. You can find the proxychains.conf file in the /etc/proxychains directory. Open the file using a text editor like nano or vim:

sudo nano /etc/proxychains/proxychains.conf

Configure the proxy settings:
In the proxychains.conf file, you need to configure the proxy settings for your proxy server. Replace the example settings with your proxy server's IP address, port, and authentication details (if required) in the following format:

strict_chain
proxy_dns

[Proxy]
type            http
server          
port            
username        
password        

[ProxyDns]
server          
port            

Save the changes and exit the text editor.

Test the proxychains connection:
To test the connection to the proxy server using proxychains, you can use the ping command:

proxychains ping 

If the connection is successful, you should see a response from the target server.

Use proxychains with other applications:

Now that you have successfully connected to the proxy server using proxychains, you can use it with other applications by prefixing the application's command with proxychains. For example:

proxychains wget 

or

proxychains curl 

This will route the traffic from the specified application through the proxy server.

In Android to disable the proxy, you need to go to "Settings", then - "Connection and sharing", then - to "VPN". And then just deactivate the item. Many phones also provide for automatic disabling of proxies and VPNs when the device is rebooted. That is, if the user is difficult to understand the settings of the gadget, then you can trivially restart it through a long press the lock button (forced reboot).

There is often no need to use a proxy server on PS4. However, using a proxy can achieve the following results:

opening access to inaccessible social networks and streaming sites; removal of the block on a personal IP; anonymous use of services; increasing account protection from hacking and network attacks. Without the need to use a proxy server on PS4 makes no sense.

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.
