HTTP proxies are used for surfing the Internet and working with social networks. However, when using this type of proxy, the user's IP address remains unprotected. At the same time, the connection speed remains high.
SOCKS proxy are designed to use programs and visit sites anonymously. Also this type of proxy allows bypassing the resources with proxy-server protection.
To sum up: SOCKS proxies are a more advanced development compared to HTTP. However, to use SOCKS, you must know how to configure your browser and use special utilities.
Connect your computer to a functioning router, then open any browser, go to the settings and enable manual configuration. Specify the IP, gateway with DNSI and subnet mask in the appropriate fields. In the "Home network" tab, under "Computers", go to "IPMP Proxy" and turn off this function. Under "System", click on the gear symbol, and under "Components", specify the Proxy UDP HTTP utility and click "Refresh".
Install the Nginx web server and disable the virtual tail. Next, in the /etc/nginx/sites-available directory, create a reverse-proxy.conf file. The file should be saved after completing the installation and quit the editor by typing "wq. You can send information to other servers by using the ngx_http_proxy_module in the terminal. Now activate the directives and test Nginx and the reverse proxy.
If your proxy gives you a 504 error, it means the server failed to complete the request within the time period you specified. Refreshing the page may help. Another option is to switch to another browser. You can also use the incognito mode, pre-clearing the browser cache. Pay attention to plug-ins that can also cause this error.
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.
