Duolingo Proxy

VPN is considered a more advanced technology for anonymization on the Internet. The main (but not the only) difference between VPN is the encryption of all traffic. But this decreases the connection speed and also increases the response time of the remote server. A proxy works slightly faster in this respect.

A proxy pool is a database that includes addresses for multiple proxy servers. For example, each VPN service has one. And it "distributes" them in order to the connected users.

Setting up a proxy refers to the process of configuring a system or network to act as an intermediary between a client and a server, allowing for the routing of requests and responses through the proxy server. This can be done for various reasons, such as improving security, anonymity, or performance.

When a proxy is set up, the client sends its requests to the proxy server, which then forwards the requests to the appropriate server on behalf of the client. The proxy server can perform various tasks, such as caching, filtering, and authentication, before returning the response to the client.

There are different types of proxy servers, including HTTP, SOCKS, and Transparent proxies, each with its own set of features and use cases. Setting up a proxy can be done on various levels, such as on an individual computer, a local network, or a large-scale enterprise network.

To set a proxy on NOX, you can follow these steps:

1. Open NOX Player: Launch the NOX Player application on your computer.

2. Click on the "Menu" icon: Locate the Menu icon, which looks like three horizontal lines, in the top right corner of the NOX Player window. Click on it to open the menu.

3. Select "Settings": From the menu, click on the "Settings" option to open the settings panel.

4. Go to "Advanced Settings": In the settings panel, click on the "Advanced Settings" tab.

5. Scroll down to "Proxy Settings": In the Advanced Settings tab, scroll down to the "Proxy Settings" section.

6. Enable "Use Proxy": To enable the proxy, check the box next to "Use Proxy."

7. Enter the Proxy Address and Port: In the "Proxy Address" field, enter the IP address or hostname of your proxy server. In the "Proxy Port" field, enter the port number of your proxy server.

8. Configure additional settings (optional): If your proxy requires authentication, you can enter the username and password in the "Proxy Username" and "Proxy Password" fields.

9. Save your changes: Click the "Save" button to apply the changes and enable the proxy in NOX Player.

10. Restart NOX Player: After saving the changes, restart the NOX Player for the new proxy settings to take effect.

Please note that using a proxy may affect your internet connection speed and the performance of NOX Player.

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.
