SmartDNS Proxy

Open the control panel of your computer, find and select the item "Network connection", and then click "Show network connections", "Local network connections" and "Properties". If there is a tick next to "Obtain an IP address automatically", then no dedicated proxy has been used. If you see numbers there, it will be your address.

If you want to access Instagram data, consider using the Instagram Graph API. However, note that the Graph API has limitations and may not provide access to all public content.

Here is an example using Python and the instagram_private_api library

from instagram_private_api import Client, ClientCompatPatch

# Replace 'your_username' and 'your_password' with your Instagram credentials
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'

api = Client(username, password)
results = api.user_feed('instagram', count=10)  # Replace 'instagram' with the target account username

for post in results['items']:
    media_id = post['id']
    comments = api.media_n_comments(media_id, count=5)  # Replace 5 with the desired number of comments to retrieve
    for comment in comments['comments']:
        print(comment['user']['username'] + ': ' + comment['text'])

api.logout()

To determine if your computer is using a proxy server, you can follow these steps for Windows and macOS:

For Windows:
- Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
- Type "inetcpl.cpl" (without quotes) in the Run dialog box and press Enter.
- In the Internet Properties window, go to the Connections tab.
- Click on the "LAN settings" button.
- In the LAN Settings window, if there is a checkmark in the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" box, it means your computer is using a proxy server.

For macOS:
- Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.
- Select "System Preferences" from the dropdown menu.
- Click on "Network" in the System Preferences window.
- Select the network connection you are using (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet) from the left pane.
- Click on the "Advanced" button.
- In the Advanced window, go to the "Proxies" tab to see if there is any proxy settings configured for your network connection. If there are settings, it means your computer is using a proxy server.

Technically, a proxy is an ordinary computer or server connected to a network (local or Internet). It accepts traffic from the user, redirects it to the address that was specified in the request. And then receives the response from the server and transmits it to the user's equipment. That is, it is actually an intermediary.

Deactivating the proxy on android is a reverse process. To do this, you will need to go back to the previous settings in the browser, if that is where you set the installation parameters. In the item "Change proxy status", namely in the ProxyDroid app, set the "Off" position.
