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.
The main task is to monitor traffic on the local network, as all requests will be handled by an organized proxy. Most often it is used to block access to certain resources in offices.
It means that the address of such a server changes periodically. This is useful if the user wants to be as anonymous as possible when surfing the web.
The proxy domain most often refers to the IP address where the server is located. It can only "learn" the IP address of the user when processing the traffic. But in most cases it does not store such information later for security reasons.
If your ISP blocks you from downloading torrents, turning on your proxy server is the easiest way around the blockage. How exactly this is done depends on the torrent client you are using. For example, in Qbittorrent you need to go to settings, open "Network" tab, check "Proxy-server" and manually specify its settings. The same way uTorrent is configured.
