Opentelemetry Proxy

The proxy settings in Zoom are configured through the regular Windows settings. To do this, you can use the command inetcpl.cpl in "Run". Next, you need to go to the "Connection" tab, click on "Network Setup". In the dialog box that opens, select "Proxy server" and set the required parameters. As a port, you can use 80 and 443.

An "open" proxy means one that is publicly available. It can be used by many network users at the same time. But because of this its bandwidth is also quite low, because the server simultaneously handles all requests through a single port.

A firewall is responsible for filtering packets of traffic. For example, it blocks access to the Internet for certain applications. There are many more options for using a proxy. But if you install special software, it can also be used for such purposes.

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

1. Use a proxy list: There are several websites that maintain lists of public proxies with their addresses and other details. Some popular proxy lists include proxy-list.org, proxy-list.net, and freeproxylist.ru. Keep in mind that using free proxies can be risky, as they might be slow, unreliable, or insecure.

2. Browser extensions or plugins: Some browser extensions or plugins can help you find and test proxies. For example, the "Proxy SwitchyOmega" extension for Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox can automatically detect and test proxies from a list. You can find and install the extension from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons website.

3. Proxy scanner tools: There are various online proxy scanner tools that can help you find and test proxies. Some popular proxy scanner tools include "Proxy-Check.com," "Proxy-Checker.org," and "ProxyScanner.io." These tools can provide you with a list of working proxies that you can use for your purposes.

4. Use a VPN service: If you need a reliable and secure proxy, consider using a VPN service. VPNs provide encrypted connections and can help you bypass geographical restrictions, access blocked content, and protect your privacy. Some popular VPN services include ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and FineVPN. Keep in mind that using a VPN may come with additional costs, but it can be a more secure and reliable option compared to free proxies.

HTTP proxies are used for surfing the Internet and working with social networks. However, when using this type of proxy, the user's IP address remains unprotected. At the same time, the connection speed remains high.
SOCKS proxy are designed to use programs and visit sites anonymously. Also this type of proxy allows bypassing the resources with proxy-server protection.
To sum up: SOCKS proxies are a more advanced development compared to HTTP. However, to use SOCKS, you must know how to configure your browser and use special utilities.
