Proxy Sight

In CentOS, if there is no graphical interface (from the terminal), proxy configuration is done through the export http_proxy=http://User:Pass@Proxy:Port/ command. Accordingly, User is the user, Pass is the password to identify you, Proxy is the IP address of the proxy, and Port is the port number. If you have DE, the configuration can be done via Network Manager (as in any other Linux distribution).

In web development, the style.left property refers to the left offset position of an element within its containing element. The value of style.left is a string that represents the distance from the element's left edge to the left edge of its containing element. This distance can be specified using various units, such as pixels, percentages, or other length units.

When you retrieve style.left in JavaScript, you get a string representation of this distance. For example:

var element = document.getElementById('exampleElement');
var leftValue = element.style.left; // Returns a string like "10px" or "50%"

To perform numerical calculations or comparisons with the left offset, you might want to parse this string and extract the numeric value. Parsing involves removing the unit (e.g., "px" or "%") and converting the remaining part to a numeric value.

Here's an example of how you can parse the style.left value in JavaScript:

var element = document.getElementById('exampleElement');
var leftValue = element.style.left;

// Parse the numeric value
var parsedLeft = parseFloat(leftValue);

// Now parsedLeft is a numeric value representing the left offset
console.log(parsedLeft);

By parsing the value, you can use it in mathematical operations or make comparisons. Keep in mind that parsing might return NaN (Not a Number) if the value is not a valid number, so it's important to handle such cases appropriately.

To check if a proxy server is working, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your web browser and go to a website that is not blocked by your proxy server.

2. In the address bar, enter the proxy server address and port number in the following format: http://proxy-server-address:port-number

3. Press Enter and wait for the page to load. If the page loads successfully, it means your proxy server is working.

4. If the page does not load or you see an error message, it means your proxy server is not working or is blocked by the website you are trying to access.

Alternatively, you can use online tools like Proxy Checker (https://www.proxychecker.com/) to test your proxy server. These tools will provide you with information on whether your proxy server is working or not.

The term "public" should be understood to mean open proxy servers. That is, they can be used by all users without exception. They can be insecure and are often quite overloaded, so the connection speed or response time when using public proxies can be very slow.

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.
