DMZ Proxy

A proxy address, also known as a proxy URL or proxy server address, is the address used to connect to a proxy server. It typically consists of the following components:

Protocol: The protocol used to connect to the proxy server, such as HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS.

Username and password (optional): Authentication credentials for accessing the proxy server, if required.

Proxy server IP address or hostname: The IP address or hostname of the proxy server.

Port number: The port number on which the proxy server is listening for connections.

A proxy address might look like this:

http://:@:/

Here, and represent the proxy server's authentication credentials, is the proxy server's IP address or hostname, and is the proxy server's port number.

Connecting through a proxy server means routing your internet traffic and requests through an intermediary server, rather than directly to the destination server. The proxy server processes the client's requests and sends them to the destination server on their behalf. When the destination server responds, the proxy server receives the response and forwards it back to the client.

The main reasons for connecting through a proxy server include:

1. Anonymity and privacy: By routing requests through a proxy server, the client's IP address and location are hidden from the destination server, as the proxy server's IP address is displayed instead. This can help protect the client's identity and privacy.

2. Access control and content filtering: Proxy servers can be configured to enforce access policies, restrict access to certain websites, or filter content based on criteria such as keywords or categories. This can help organizations maintain a safe and secure browsing environment for their users.

3. Performance optimization: Proxy servers can cache frequently accessed content, compress data, and implement other optimization techniques to improve performance and reduce the load on destination servers.

4. Bypassing restrictions: In some cases, connecting through a proxy server can help bypass internet restrictions or access content that is otherwise blocked due to geographical or organizational limitations.

It is recommended to use private IPv6 proxies with dedicated IP in order to work with Instagram correctly, and most importantly - securely. With such connection interception of traffic is practically impossible, directly Instagram also will not ban the connection.

In Windows 8 and later editions it is recommended to setup network proxy through Group Policy. To do this, run GPMC.msc (via "Run" or enter in the "Search"), then select the section with the users, from the list of parameters select "Internet Settings". Further settings are not different from the standard ones in Windows. You can set proxy, specify the start page, enter restrictions and so on.
