MTN Proxy

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 easiest way to do this is to use online proxy checking services. For example, Hidemy Name. It is free, displays technical data about the connection, and at the same time it also checks the ping.

To create your own proxy server, you can use open-source software such as Privoxy or Squid. Here's a step-by-step guide using Privoxy:

Install Privoxy: Download the latest version of Privoxy from the official website (https://www.privoxy.org/download/) and install it on your computer. The installation process varies depending on your operating system.

Configure Privoxy: After installing Privoxy, open the configuration file, usually located at /etc/privoxy/config.txt on Linux or C:\Program Files\Privoxy\config\config.txt on Windows. You can also find the configuration file in the installation directory.

Edit the configuration file: Open the configuration file in a text editor and make the following changes:

Uncomment the following line by removing the # symbol at the beginning:

listen-address 0.0.0.0

Uncomment the following line and change the port number if desired (e.g., 8118):

listen-port 8118

Uncomment the following line to enable HTTPS support:

forward-suffix .privoxy

Add the following line to forward requests to a specific destination server (replace with the desired server's address):

forward-suffix 

Save the configuration file and restart Privoxy: Close the text editor and restart Privoxy to apply the changes. On Linux, you can use the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart

On Windows, locate the Privoxy service in the Windows Services list and restart it.

Test your proxy server: Open a web browser and configure it to use your new proxy server (e.g., http://localhost:8118). Test by accessing a website to ensure that the proxy server is working correctly.

There are several options for its use: bypassing the blocking of websites, shopping in foreign online stores at regional (local) prices, access to a full library of media content, hiding your real IP-address.

If you plan to use a proxy every day, it is recommended to pay attention to paid services. There, the connection is as reliable as possible, with no bandwidth limitations. However, the performance of numerous free proxies is not guaranteed.
