Ethernet Proxy

In a local network, you will need two computers to do this. One will be used as a proxy server, the other as a client. Then you need to activate the proxy on the server. And on the client PC - choose to access the Internet via a local network connection (i.e. from the server). Another option is to use a web server like Nginx.

A proxy is a service that allows access to websites blocked in different countries, while hiding your own IP address. It is a kind of intermediary between the end server and the owner's computer. A VPN provides an encrypted connection to the network, which not only allows you to keep your privacy, hide your IP address, encrypt Internet traffic, but also bypasses firewalls.

If you have the operating system Ubuntu, the messenger will not be able to connect to the proxy. On other operating systems, if this situation occurs, you should update your application to the latest version. Another reason for no connection may be a server restart. In this case, you should either wait for the traffic to decrease or connect to a new proxy. Sometimes, to get Telegram working via proxy again, you simply need to replace the outdated proxy server with a new one.

The main task is to monitor traffic on the local network, as all requests will be handled by an organized proxy. Most often it is used to block access to certain resources in offices.
