Kafka Proxy

In simple terms, it is a logically separated part of the main local or public network. It is through it that many users can use a proxy through a single server at the same time. Each connection is allocated to a separate subnet.

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.

It's a router that redirects all traffic through a VPN server. Many router models support this function, you only need to specify the data for connecting to a particular VPN (that is, enter the parameters that will provide a VPN service). And some manufacturers provide such routers, in which all settings are already prescribed (the developers themselves provide a VPN-service or are representatives of such).

Connect your computer to a functioning router, then open any browser, go to the settings and enable manual configuration. Specify the IP, gateway with DNSI and subnet mask in the appropriate fields. In the "Home network" tab, under "Computers", go to "IPMP Proxy" and turn off this function. Under "System", click on the gear symbol, and under "Components", specify the Proxy UDP HTTP utility and click "Refresh".

Technically, a proxy is an ordinary computer or server connected to a network (local or Internet). It accepts traffic from the user, redirects it to the address that was specified in the request. And then receives the response from the server and transmits it to the user's equipment. That is, it is actually an intermediary.
