Proxy for BBC News

Open the browser settings and go to the "Advanced" section. Click on "System" and then, in the window that opens, click on "Open proxy settings for computer". A window will appear in front of you, showing all the current settings. Another way to find out the http proxy is to download and install the SocialKit Proxy Checker utility on your computer.

A proxy is responsible for forwarding traffic. Technically, it just copies the traffic and sends it to the Internet, but it also replaces various metadata (the type of equipment from which the request is sent, the port number, the IP address, and so on). Or it can be simply called a "mediator" in the computer network.

Go to "Settings" of the torrent, and then in the settings menu, select the subsection "Connection", which contains network connection settings. Under "Proxy" choose the type of your proxy (Socks5 proxy is recommended), then enter the IP address and proxy port in the appropriate fields, then click "Change". Now everything is ready - the torrent works through a proxy server.

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.

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.
