Datapower Proxy

To connect to the Internet through a proxy server, you need to configure your device to use the proxy server for your network connections. Here's how to do it for different operating systems:

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the Internet Properties window.
3. Click on the "Connections" tab.
4. Click on "LAN settings" in the bottom right corner.
5. In the "Proxy Server" section, select "Use a proxy server for your LAN" and enter the proxy server address and port number provided by your network administrator or proxy service.
6. Click "OK" and close the Internet Properties window.

For macOS:

1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click on "Network".
3. Select the network connection you are using (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet).
4. Click on the "Proxy" tab.
5. Select "Web Proxy (HTTP)" from the "Proxy Settings" dropdown menu.
6. Enter the proxy server address and port number provided by your network administrator or proxy service.
7. Click "OK" and close the Network preferences.

Although free proxies are popular, they are far from being flawless in their work. Many of their IP addresses are blacklisted by popular resources, and the data transfer speed and stability are very unreliable. When choosing a proxy, keep in mind that the new version of IPv6 is not supported by most websites. Note also that proxies are divided into private and public, statistical and dynamic, and support different network protocols.

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).

To check if your computer uses a proxy-server, you just need to use any browser (Yandex Browser, Opera, Google Chrome). Then you need to follow the algorithm:

Start your browser.
Go to "Settings".
In the search box enter the query "proxy".
Click on "Proxy settings".
In the tab that opens, select "Network settings".
This will open a tab with the IP address and port of the proxy server, if it is used. If the function is disabled, the line will be empty, and the option itself is disabled.

Yes, it is possible to access blocked YouTube or channels unavailable in a certain country using a proxy.
