Gitconfig Proxy

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between the client and the requested Internet resource. It is assigned the role of a kind of gateway or filter, which is responsible for submitting a request, receiving the required information and providing it to the user. The proxy server, if necessary, can make changes in incoming and outgoing data, the nature of which will depend on the type of proxy and its settings.

Open the browser settings and go to the "Advanced" section. Click on "System" and then, in the window that opens, click on "Open proxy settings for computer". A window will appear in front of you, showing all the current settings. Another way to find out the http proxy is to download and install the SocialKit Proxy Checker utility on your computer.

There are many free VPN services. But it is not safe to use them. After all, they are just engaged in parsing. That is, they collect information about users. Most often - their IP-addresses, as well as text data (these are search queries and their personal information).

All you need to know when using a web proxy is the address of the web site of the proxy server. A web proxy is like a browser built into a web page. Usually, it always has a bar for entering the URL of the web site you want to open. After entering the URL of the web proxy server address into the address bar of the browser, enter the address of the desired web site into the proxy URL and press "Enter".

In e-mail, proxy servers are used for secure data exchange as well as for collecting e-mails from several e-mail addresses at once. For example, this is how Gmail works, which also allows you to receive e-mails from mail.ru and other e-mail services.
