HTTP Forward Proxy

It is recommended to use private IPv6 proxies with dedicated IP in order to work with Instagram correctly, and most importantly - securely. With such connection interception of traffic is practically impossible, directly Instagram also will not ban the connection.

Google Chrome doesn't have a built-in function to work with a proxy server, although there is such an item in the settings. But when you click on it, you are automatically "redirected" to the standard proxy settings in Windows (or any other operating system).

To configure a proxy in Nginx, you need to modify the Nginx configuration file and add the appropriate proxy settings. Follow these steps to set up a proxy in Nginx:

Open the Nginx configuration file: This file is typically located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf, depending on your system and Nginx installation. You may need root or administrative privileges to edit this file.

Locate the http block: Inside the Nginx configuration file, look for the http block, which contains the global settings for your Nginx server.

Add a server block: Within the http block, add a new server block that specifies the domain name or IP address and port number of the client request you want to proxy to another server. For example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://your-destination-server.com;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

Replace example.com with the domain name you want to proxy to the destination server, and http://your-destination-server.com with the destination server's address and port number.

Configure proxy settings: Within the location block, add the necessary proxy settings to forward the client's request to the destination server and pass along the appropriate headers. Some common proxy settings include:

- proxy_pass: Specifies the destination server's address and port number.
- proxy_set_header: Sets the value of specific headers to be sent to the destination server.
- proxy_redirect: Redirects URLs in the response from the destination server to a different URL.
- proxy_connect_timeout: Sets the timeout for establishing a connection to the destination server.
- proxy_read_timeout: Sets the timeout for reading the response from the destination server.
- proxy_send_timeout: Sets the timeout for sending a response to the client.

Save the configuration file: After making the necessary changes, save the Nginx configuration file.

Test the configuration: Before restarting Nginx, test the configuration to ensure there are no syntax errors. You can do this by running the following command:

nginx -t

If the test is successful, Nginx will output Configuration test successful.

Restart Nginx: Apply the changes by restarting the Nginx server. Depending on your system, you can use one of the following commands:

sudo service nginx restart

or

sudo systemctl restart nginx

After completing these steps, your Nginx server will act as a proxy and forward client requests to the specified destination server.

Free proxies, while seemingly profitable and attractive, are actually not very effective. They cannot boast of security, speed, stability and acceptable duration of work. Qualitative and reliable proxies require a certain investment, but they can be obtained from companies that have a good reputation as proxy service providers. You can also find out about all the nuances of proxy selection with the help of special proxy databases.

Common users can use proxies to bypass blocking, to protect their personal data and to hide their real IP address or data about the equipment they use. But network administrators use them to analyze network traffic and test web applications.
