Fodev Proxy

A DNS server is a remote computer that receives a domain request from a user device. And it converts it into an IP address. Sometimes it is through the DNS-server that ISPs block sites. And DNS-proxy, respectively, allows you to bypass these restrictions completely.

In the context of a proxy server, the term "host" refers to the IP address or domain name of the proxy server itself. The host is the destination where your internet traffic is routed through when you use a proxy server. When you configure your web browser or software to use a proxy, you're specifying the host (proxy server address) and the port number to connect to the proxy server.

The proxy server then forwards your web requests to the actual destination (e.g., a website) and returns the response back to you. This process allows the proxy server to act as an intermediary between you and the internet, potentially providing benefits such as anonymity, access to restricted content, or improved performance.

In Android to disable the proxy, you need to go to "Settings", then - "Connection and sharing", then - to "VPN". And then just deactivate the item. Many phones also provide for automatic disabling of proxies and VPNs when the device is rebooted. That is, if the user is difficult to understand the settings of the gadget, then you can trivially restart it through a long press the lock button (forced reboot).

If your proxy gives you a 504 error, it means the server failed to complete the request within the time period you specified. Refreshing the page may help. Another option is to switch to another browser. You can also use the incognito mode, pre-clearing the browser cache. Pay attention to plug-ins that can also cause this error.

And it depends on what purpose the proxy is used for. But you should definitely give preference to paid proxies. They are more reliable, always available, and with that comes a guarantee of privacy. Unfortunately, personal data is often stolen from free proxies.
