Notion Proxy

VPN is considered a more advanced technology for anonymization on the Internet. The main (but not the only) difference between VPN is the encryption of all traffic. But this decreases the connection speed and also increases the response time of the remote server. A proxy works slightly faster in this respect.

The term "public" should be understood to mean open proxy servers. That is, they can be used by all users without exception. They can be insecure and are often quite overloaded, so the connection speed or response time when using public proxies can be very slow.

To find the address of a proxy server, you can follow these steps:

Use a proxy list: Search for reputable proxy lists that provide a collection of proxy servers. Be cautious when choosing a list, as some may contain malicious or unreliable proxies.

Online forums and communities: Look for online forums or communities where people share and discuss proxy servers. Be cautious when using proxies from these sources, as they may not be reliable or secure.

Web scraping tools: Use web scraping tools to extract proxy information from websites that list proxy servers. Be cautious when using this method, as it may be against the terms of service of some websites.

Paid proxy services: Consider using a paid proxy service, which typically offers a list of reliable and high-quality proxy servers. Paid services often provide better performance, support, and security compared to free proxy servers.

Please note that using proxy servers can expose you to various risks, so it's essential to be cautious and aware of the potential dangers. If you're unsure about using a proxy server, it may be best to avoid them and opt for a VPN service instead. VPNs offer better security, privacy, and reliability compared to proxy servers.

It means organizing a connection through several VPN-servers at once. It is used to protect confidential data as much as possible or to hide one's real IP address. This principle of connection is used, for example, in the TOR-browser. That is, when all traffic is sent immediately through a chain of proxy servers.

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.
