GitLab Proxy

In the settings bar (home screen), select "Network Settings" and then click on Ethernet. Here you should select the "Advanced Settings" option, which contains the "Proxy Server Settings" item. To further configure the proxy, select "Configure Manually", type in the proxy hostname and specify the port. Do not forget to list the domains that the proxy server should not use. You should leave this field empty if it does not exist. If the configuration process is successful, you will see the "Settings saved" notification.

A proxy is responsible for forwarding traffic. Technically, it just copies the traffic and sends it to the Internet, but it also replaces various metadata (the type of equipment from which the request is sent, the port number, the IP address, and so on). Or it can be simply called a "mediator" in the computer network.

To assign a proxy server to an Android or iOS access point, follow these steps:

Open the "Settings" section. Go to the "Wi-Fi" tab. Select your access point. Click on "Proxy". Use manual setup and specify the data of proxy. Save the settings.

Proxy servers are of the following types:
FTP proxy designed to send data to FTP servers.
CGI proxy, which is used to browse web services in a browser. You do not need to configure any settings. All actions are performed anonymously. Often such proxies are designed in the form of a page where you have to specify the address of a desired site.
SMTP, POP3 and IMAP proxy are designed for sending and receiving email.
HTTP and HTTPS proxies are for scrolling web services.
Socks proxy are used as an anonymizer. No one will know about the user's actions.

A proxy is just used to bypass torrent download blocking through your ISP's network. Separately, the proxy server can block the host, that is, the owner of the site where the torrent files are posted. But it happens mostly due to malicious violations of the rules for using such a resource (for example, "cheating" rating).
