Freegate Proxy

To log in to your proxy, you will need to provide the required authentication credentials in the proxy settings of your client. The process varies depending on the type of client you are using.

For web browsers, you can usually find the proxy settings in the browser's options or preferences menu. Look for the "Connections" or "Network" section, and find the "Proxy" or "LAN settings" subsection. Enter the proxy address and port, and choose the appropriate proxy type (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS). If your proxy requires authentication, you can typically enter your username and password in the appropriate fields.

For system-wide proxy settings on Windows, macOS, or Linux, you can use the network settings in the control panel or system preferences. Enter the proxy address and port, and choose the appropriate proxy type (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS). If your proxy requires authentication, you can usually enter your username and password in the appropriate fields.

For applications or software that require a proxy, check the application's documentation or settings menu to see if it allows you to configure a proxy server. If authentication is needed, you'll typically find fields for entering your username and password.

Disable proxy settings in Windows:

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.

Type "inetcpl.cpl" (without quotes) and press Enter to open the Internet Properties window.

In the Internet Properties window, click on the "Connections" tab.

Click on "Lan settings" in the bottom right corner of the window.

In the "Proxy Server" section, select "Automatically detect settings" and uncheck the box for "Use a proxy server for your LAN."

Click "OK" to save the changes and close the window.

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.

Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. HTTP is faster because it supports caching. And SOCKS provides better anonymity because it hides the headers of requested pages.

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).
