Fedora Proxy

To check the quality of a proxy server, you can use one of the proxy checkers. There are a lot of them on the Internet. For example, hidemy.name. On the page of the checker you need to specify the IP-address and port of the required proxy server.

To receive and display a video stream via UDP protocol on a C# server, you can use the UdpClient class from the System.Net.Sockets namespace. Here's a simple example of how to set up a UDP server that receives a video stream and displays it on a Windows Forms application:

1. Create a new Windows Forms Application project in Visual Studio.

2. Add a PictureBox control to the form.

3. Double-click on the PictureBox to create a new method named pictureBox1_Click.

4. Add the following code to the pictureBox1_Click method:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace UDP_Video_Stream
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private const int Port = 12345;
        private byte[] _buffer = new byte[1024 * 1024]; // 1MB buffer
        private UdpClient _udpClient;
        private Thread _receiveThread;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            InitializeUdpClient();
        }

        private void InitializeUdpClient()
        {
            _udpClient = new UdpClient(Port);
            _udpClient.EnableBroadcast = true;
            _receiveThread = new Thread(ReceiveVideoStream);
            _receiveThread.Start();
        }

        private void ReceiveVideoStream()
        {
            while (true)
            {
                try
                {
                    IPEndPoint remoteEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0);
                    int receivedBytes = _udpClient.Receive(ref remoteEndPoint);

                    byte[] frame = new byte[receivedBytes];
                    Array.Copy(_buffer, frame, receivedBytes);

                    // Process the received frame (decode, display, etc.)
                    ProcessFrame(frame);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                }
            }
        }

        private void ProcessFrame(byte[] frame)
        {
            // This method should be implemented to process the received frame.
            // For example, you can decode the frame using a library like FFmpeg and display it on the PictureBox.
            // Note that this is a complex task and requires additional libraries and code.
        }

        private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // This method is called when the PictureBox is clicked.
            // You can add any additional logic here if needed.
        }
    }
}

This code sets up a UDP server that listens on port 12345 and receives video frames. The ProcessFrame method should be implemented to process the received frame, which may involve decoding the frame

To configure a proxy manually, you'll need to access the settings of the application or software you're using that requires a proxy server. The steps to configure a proxy manually will vary depending on the application or software. Here are some general steps for common applications:

For Web Browsers:

1. Open your web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
2. Click on the menu button (usually three horizontal lines or three dots) and select "Settings" or "Options."
3. Look for a section related to "Network settings," "Proxy settings," or "Connections."
4. In the proxy settings, you'll find fields for the proxy server address and port. Enter the proxy server address and port provided by your proxy service.
5. If your proxy server requires authentication, enter the username and password in the respective fields.
6. Save your changes and close the settings window.

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" and press Enter to open the Internet Properties window.
3. Go to the "Connections" tab, and click on "LAN settings."
4. In the LAN settings, check the box next to "Use a proxy server for your LAN" if you have a proxy server configured. Enter the proxy server address and port in the appropriate fields.
5. If your proxy server requires authentication, check the box next to "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" and enter the local IP address of the website you want to access (e.g., "127.0.0.1" for localhost).
6. Save your changes and close the Internet Properties window.

For macOS:

1. Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences."
2. Click "Network."
3. Select the network connection you want to configure the proxy settings for (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab.
6. Check the box next to "HTTP proxy" or "HTTPS proxy" if you have a proxy server configured. Enter the proxy server address and port in the appropriate fields. 7. If your proxy server requires authentication, click the "Security" tab and check the box next to "Proxy server is secure." Enter the username and password in the respective fields.
8. Save your changes and close the Network preferences window.

An access point (AP) is a device that creates a wireless local area network (WLAN) and allows devices to connect to a wired network. Proxy settings on an access point refer to the configuration of the AP to use a proxy server for internet traffic.

A proxy on an access point serves the following purposes:

1. Anonymity: By routing internet traffic through a proxy server, the AP can help conceal the identity and location of devices connected to the network. This can be useful in situations where anonymity is desired or required.

2. Content filtering: A proxy server can be configured to block or allow access to specific websites or content based on predefined rules. This can be helpful for organizations that want to control and monitor the internet usage of their users.

3. Bandwidth management: Using a proxy server, an access point can limit or prioritize the bandwidth for specific applications or users. This can help manage network resources and ensure fair usage.

4. Caching: Proxy servers can cache frequently accessed content, reducing the amount of data that needs to be downloaded from the internet. This can improve performance and reduce bandwidth usage.

In the "Settings" of any Android smartphone there is a "VPN" item. And there you can manually specify the parameters of the proxy, through which the connection to the Internet will be made. There, some of the programs also import ready-made scripts for proxy connections.
