Pi Hole Reverse Proxy

Proxy servers are of the following types:
FTP proxy designed to send data to FTP servers.
CGI proxy, which is used to browse web services in a browser. You do not need to configure any settings. All actions are performed anonymously. Often such proxies are designed in the form of a page where you have to specify the address of a desired site.
SMTP, POP3 and IMAP proxy are designed for sending and receiving email.
HTTP and HTTPS proxies are for scrolling web services.
Socks proxy are used as an anonymizer. No one will know about the user's actions.

To connect to the Internet via a proxy server, you need to configure your browser or operating system to use the proxy server. Here's a general guide for setting up a proxy server using a web browser:

1. Open your web browser.

2. Access the browser settings or preferences:
- On Windows: Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select "Settings."
- On macOS: Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner, select "System Preferences," and click "Network."
- On Linux: Click the menu button in the top-right corner, select "Settings," and click "Network."
- On Android: Open the "Settings" app and tap "Network & internet."
- On iOS: Open the "Settings" app and tap "Wi-Fi."

3. Locate the proxy settings:
- On Windows: Under "Network," click "Proxy settings."
- On macOS: Click the "Advanced" button and go to the "Proxies" tab.
- On Linux: Click the "+" button to add a new proxy.
- On Android: Tap "Private DNS" and "Static IP address" under "Advanced options."
- On iOS: Tap "Configure Proxy" under the active Wi-Fi network.

4. Enter the proxy server address, port, and authentication details (if required):
- Proxy server address: Enter the domain name or IP address of the proxy server (e.g., http://proxy-server).
- Port: Enter the port number used by the proxy server (e.g., 8080).
- Username and Password (optional): If the proxy server requires authentication, enter the username and password provided by the proxy server provider.

5. Save the proxy settings and restart the browser.

Rotary proxies are proxies that cyclically change their real IP address. This is used to make it harder to track their location. The port usually changes as well. How this happens depends on the software used on the proxy server.

It means a private proxy server used by several users. For example, one of them has bought a paid proxy and lets his friend use it for a fee. That is, he "shared" his proxy (shared means "common").

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between client and server parts of distributed network applications. The role of a transit node provides a logical break in the direct connection between the server and the client. A proxy server can also act as a firewall if the traffic it controls does not go through a workaround.
