IBM Sterling Secure Proxy

To check if your computer uses a proxy-server, you just need to use any browser (Yandex Browser, Opera, Google Chrome). Then you need to follow the algorithm:

Start your browser.
Go to "Settings".
In the search box enter the query "proxy".
Click on "Proxy settings".
In the tab that opens, select "Network settings".
This will open a tab with the IP address and port of the proxy server, if it is used. If the function is disabled, the line will be empty, and the option itself is disabled.

Using the "Start" button, go to the search engine and type regedit into it. Once the registry editor opens, go to the address you specified: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft, and then click on the Microsoft folder. On the "New" submenu, select the "Key" option, name it Internet Explorer and click on enter. Now right-click on the Control Panel key you have created and select the DWORD (32-bit) Value option on the "New" submenu. Give the key a name Proxy, and then click enter. In the created DWORD parameter, put 1 instead of 0, click on "OK" and reboot the computer.

It means a proxy that has no access to the Internet. It is created using special software on the user's computer. Most often it is used to check the performance of the created site or web-application.

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.

There are special tools developed to check if a proxy is working. There are a large number of appropriate services and programs on the Internet. Any software that works in a general way should be excluded from their number. To use online checkers to check the quality and validity of a proxy, just specify your IP address and port number in the fields provided.
