Docker Network Proxy

The main task of these two popular technologies is to provide security for the Internet user. Despite a certain similarity of tasks, they are performed absolutely differently. Proxy, although it allows you to remain anonymous and bypass blocked sites, it is still quite vulnerable, especially when it comes to untested services. VPN in this regard looks preferable, because thanks to end-to-end encryption it reliably protects information from the entry point to the exit point.

To set up a proxy on your computer, you need to go through a simple procedure. If we're talking about Windows 10, you'll first need to open the "Settings" application and the "Network and Internet" section. Here, after opening the "Proxy Server" tab, find the column "Manual proxy server setup" just to the right and move the switch to the "On" position. Enter the IP address and the proxy port in the specified fields and click "Save".

In Key Collector settings, the user can specify parameters of the proxy server through which the program will connect to the network. In the application window, first select "Settings", then go to the "Network" tab and check "Use proxy". Its parameters can be set either manually or through a configuration file.

You can bypass the blocking of the messenger by using the built-in proxy server in the application. To do this, go to "Settings" and then to the section "Data and storage". Here, in the "Proxy settings" tab, you will find the "Add proxy" item. A shield icon on the top line of the menu will indicate that the proxy is enabled.

It means a private proxy server used by several users. For example, one of them has bought a paid proxy and lets his friend use it for a fee. That is, he "shared" his proxy (shared means "common").
