Scarlet Proxy

We recommend using SOCKS5 proxies for uTorrent. When using HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS4 protocols, users often encounter technical problems when downloading files. They may simply not be loaded on the device. It is also worth noting that SOCKS5 is the best anonymizer, which hides all the data of the computer.

Before choosing a proxy server provider, it is recommended to pay attention to the parameter "traffic limit". If there is one, money will be deducted from your account. To avoid loss of money, it is better to choose a vendor who has to pay not for traffic, but for the number of addresses.

Free proxies, while seemingly profitable and attractive, are actually not very effective. They cannot boast of security, speed, stability and acceptable duration of work. Qualitative and reliable proxies require a certain investment, but they can be obtained from companies that have a good reputation as proxy service providers. You can also find out about all the nuances of proxy selection with the help of special proxy databases.

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).

To know the type of proxy, you need to identify the communication protocol it uses. Proxies can be categorized based on the protocol they support, such as HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS, or other specific protocols. Here's how to determine the type of proxy you are using or working with:

1. Check the proxy settings: If you are using a proxy on your device or within an application, examine the proxy settings to see which protocol is specified. For example, the settings might indicate "HTTP Proxy," "HTTPS Proxy," or "SOCKS Proxy."

2. Observe the proxy URL: The proxy URL can sometimes indicate the type of proxy. For example, an HTTP proxy URL usually starts with "http://" or "https://" followed by the proxy server's IP address or hostname, while a SOCKS proxy URL typically starts with "socks://" followed by the proxy server's IP address or hostname.

3. Analyze the proxy server's behavior: You can also determine the type of proxy by observing how it handles incoming and outgoing requests. For instance, an HTTP proxy will typically forward HTTP and HTTPS requests, while a SOCKS proxy can handle any type of traffic, including non-HTTP protocols.

4. Use online tools or software: There are various online tools and software applications that can help you identify the type of proxy. By connecting to the proxy server and analyzing the traffic, these tools can often determine the protocol used by the proxy.

5. Consult the proxy provider: If you are unsure about the type of proxy you are using, you can always consult the proxy provider or the documentation that came with the proxy server. They should be able to provide you with the necessary information about the proxy type.

The most convenient way is to use online proxy checkers, i.e. services that test all connection capabilities, including supported protocols. For example, Hidemy.name or Securitylab. As for applications, you can recommend SocksChain or Open Proxy Checker.
