You can check it with the ping command from the command line in Windows. It is enough to enter it, with a space - the data of the proxy server (including the number of the port used) and press Enter. The reply message will tell you whether or not you have received a reply from the remote server. If not, the proxy is unavailable, respectively.

A proxy in data centers is usually a separate server that processes incoming requests and then distributes them to the submitted addresses (or IP). Also through the proxy it is possible to allocate a specific user a separate IP address for connection (for example, if he needs a virtual server).

The most convenient way is to use online proxy checkers, i.e. services that test all connection capabilities, including supported protocols. For example, Hidemy.name or Securitylab. As for applications, you can recommend SocksChain or Open Proxy Checker.

To disable the proxy service in Spotify, follow these steps:

1. Launch Spotify on your computer.
2. Click on the "Edit" menu (Windows) or "Spotify" menu (macOS) and select "Preferences" or "Settings."
3. In the Preferences or Settings window, go to the "Show Advanced Settings" section and click the "Show Advanced Settings" checkbox to enable it.
4. Scroll down to the "Proxy" section.
5. Uncheck the box next to "Use a proxy server for Spotify" to disable the proxy service.
6. Click "OK" or "Apply" to save your changes.

After disabling the proxy service, Spotify should connect to the internet without using a proxy server. Keep in mind that using a proxy server may be necessary in certain situations, such as when you're behind a firewall or have restrictions on your network. If you still need to use a proxy, make sure to enter the correct proxy server address and port in the "Proxy" section.

It's a router that redirects all traffic through a VPN server. Many router models support this function, you only need to specify the data for connecting to a particular VPN (that is, enter the parameters that will provide a VPN service). And some manufacturers provide such routers, in which all settings are already prescribed (the developers themselves provide a VPN-service or are representatives of such).
