Port 80 Proxies

Both versions of the protocol, at first glance, are able to provide anonymity on the Internet, as well as bypass all kinds of blockages. In addition, they are not only suitable for online entertainment, but also for work (study). This is what unites them to some extent, but there are still more differences. These are primarily the number of IP addresses, the cost of rent, appearance, connection speed, ping, and security. The IPv4 protocol, developed in the 1980s, is a more outdated model with a number of significant problems, including inefficient routing.

In the context of a router, a proxy refers to a feature or service that acts as an intermediary between the router and external networks or resources. The primary purpose of a proxy in a router is to enhance security, optimize performance, and manage traffic.

To deactivate the proxy server on Windows 10, you need to perform the following steps:
Open the "Windows Settings" menu.
Go to the "Network and Internet" tab.
Open the "Proxy Server" section.
Deactivate the "Use setup script" option.
Deactivate "Use proxy server" option. Reboot your computer. If the proxy server option has not been disabled, deactivate the "Define parameters automatically" option in the "Proxy server" section. After that you have to restart your PC again.

To configure a proxy on your MikroTik router, you need the Winbox software. The following steps must be done in the application: Open the "IP"-"WebProxy" sections. Check the box next to "Enabled". Enter the parameters of the proxy-server.

After that you have to specify the data of the proxy in the browser to be used. As an example, let's take Google Chrome. What you need to do:

Open the browser.
Click on the icon "?" in the upper right corner.
Go to "Settings".
Select the "Advanced" option.
Click the "System" tab.
Click on "Open proxy settings for your computer".
Click on "Network settings".
Activate the "Use proxy server" option.
In the tab that opens, specify the IP address of the proxy server. You should enter it in the field of the protocol to which the proxy server belongs.
Click the "OK" button to save your settings.

There are many free VPN services. But it is not safe to use them. After all, they are just engaged in parsing. That is, they collect information about users. Most often - their IP-addresses, as well as text data (these are search queries and their personal information).
