Proxy Context

There are lots of ways to use them. For example, you can swap your real IP address location for an American one, thus getting the opportunity to watch Netflix at a bargain price. Or you can set up parsing traffic through a proxy to test the security of your web applications. Or you can create a proxy server on your local network that allows traffic through and blocks requests to certain sites.

To change the proxy settings on an Android device, follow these steps:

1. Open the "Settings" app on your Android device.

2. Scroll down and tap on "Network & Internet" or "Connections," depending on your device's Android version and manufacturer.

3. Tap on "Wi-Fi" if you want to change the proxy settings for Wi-Fi connections, or "Mobile networks" if you want to change the proxy settings for cellular data.

4. If you're changing the settings for Wi-Fi, tap on the Wi-Fi network you're currently connected to. If you're changing the settings for mobile networks, tap on "Advanced options" or "Access Point Names (APN)."

5. Look for the "Proxy" or "Access Point" section. Tap on it to access the proxy settings.

6. You will see options to enter the proxy server's IP address and port number. Enter the required information for the proxy server you want to use. Some proxy servers may also require you to enter a username and password.

7. Once you've entered the proxy server details, save your changes by tapping on the "Save" or "Apply" button.

A proxy server passes all traffic through itself, acting as an intermediary between the user and the remote server. It is most often used to conceal the real IP, to conditionally change the user's location, or to analyze traffic (for example, when testing web applications).

In the messenger settings, go to "Data and Drive". Click on "Proxy settings", and then, enabling the "Use proxy settings" tab, enter the server, port, username and password in the specially highlighted fields. If you are going to make settings in the Desktop version, you will need to go to the menu. There, in the "Connection method" item, click on "TSP via Socks5" and enter the required data.

A proxy server spoofs the IP address, port, and hardware information. It can also act as a secure gateway for data transmission in an already encrypted form (for example, this is how a proxy with the SOCKS5 protocol works).
