Party Poker Proxy

A proxy is a service that allows access to websites blocked in different countries, while hiding your own IP address. It is a kind of intermediary between the end server and the owner's computer. A VPN provides an encrypted connection to the network, which not only allows you to keep your privacy, hide your IP address, encrypt Internet traffic, but also bypasses firewalls.

The most convenient way is to use online proxy checkers, i.e. services that test all connection capabilities, including supported protocols. For example, Hidemy.name or Securitylab. As for applications, you can recommend SocksChain or Open Proxy Checker.

To see your proxy server and port, you'll need to check the settings of the application or software you're using that requires a proxy server. The steps to find the proxy server and port will vary depending on the application or software. Here are some general steps for common applications:

For Web Browsers:

1. Open your web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
2. Click on the menu button (usually three horizontal lines or three dots) and select "Settings" or "Options."
3. Look for a section related to "Network settings," "Proxy settings," or "Connections."
4. Find the proxy server address and port in the settings.

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" and press Enter to open the Internet Properties window.
3. Go to the "Connections" tab, and click on "LAN settings."
4. In the LAN settings, check the box next to "Use a proxy server for your LAN" if you have a proxy server configured. The proxy server address and port will be displayed.

For macOS:

1. Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences."
2. Click "Network."
3. Select the network connection you want to check the proxy settings for (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab.
6. Check the box next to "Use a proxy server" if you have a proxy server configured. The proxy server address and port will be displayed.

For Linux:

1. Open the Terminal.
2. Enter the following command to edit the network configuration file: sudo nano /etc/environment
3. Find the line that starts with "http_proxy" and check the value to find the proxy server address and port (e.g., "http_proxy=http://proxyserver:port").

Open the "Settings" application via "Start" and go to "Network and Internet". Here, in the "Proxy" section, find the "Manual Proxy Configuration" column. Move the slider to "On" and carefully enter the IP address and port of the proxy, then click "Save".

And it depends on what purpose the proxy is used for. But you should definitely give preference to paid proxies. They are more reliable, always available, and with that comes a guarantee of privacy. Unfortunately, personal data is often stolen from free proxies.
