Proxy Nude

A firewall is responsible for filtering packets of traffic. For example, it blocks access to the Internet for certain applications. There are many more options for using a proxy. But if you install special software, it can also be used for such purposes.

Chromium does not support proxies in-house. There is a corresponding item in the menu, but clicking on it will open the regular proxy server settings in Windows or MacOS.

To reset proxy settings, you can follow these steps depending on your operating system:

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the Internet Properties window.
3. Click on the "Connections" tab.
4. Click on "LAN settings" in the bottom right corner.
5. In the "Proxy Server" section, select "Automatically detect settings" and click "OK".
6. Close the Internet Properties window.

In PlayStation 4 and 5, setting up a proxy server follows a similar algorithm. It is necessary to go to the "Library", select "Settings", open the tab "Network Settings". In the window that appears, click on "Network". Then choose the type of connection you are using. It will be offered to set the DHCP, DNS and then the proxy server parameters step by step. And here you can enable it by manually entering the necessary settings.

Regular Windows functionality has a minimum of settings for proxies. Therefore, it is recommended to use third-party applications for this purpose. For example, Proxy Switcher or Proxifier. There you can not only set the server characteristics but also, for example, create a folder for packets of traffic that are transmitted through the local network.
