SMB Proxy

The main task is to monitor traffic on the local network, as all requests will be handled by an organized proxy. Most often it is used to block access to certain resources in offices.

The provider, when the user uses a VPN, "sees" only the encrypted traffic, as well as the address of the remote server to which the request is sent. But it is impossible to determine which site the user is visiting and what data is being sent.

A proxy name is the address or hostname of a proxy server. A proxy server is an intermediary server that acts as a gateway between a client (such as a web browser or application) and the internet. The proxy server receives requests from the client, forwards them to the appropriate server on the internet, and then returns the requested data to the client.

The proxy name is usually an IP address or a domain name that points to the IP address of the proxy server. For example, a proxy server might have a name like "proxy.example.com" or an IP address like "192.168.1.100". Clients use this proxy name to connect to the proxy server, which then processes the requests and provides the necessary resources.

It's important to note that the term "proxy name" can be somewhat ambiguous, as it might refer to the hostname or the actual IP address of the proxy server. In most cases, when people refer to a proxy name, they are referring to the hostname or domain name of the proxy server.

It is recommended to use third-party programs that allow redirecting all traffic through a proxy server. For example, ProxyDroid, EveryProxy. It is not possible to use proxies through the regular menu. Although in phones from some manufacturers such possibility has been added.

Go to the settings (the icon in the form of three dots) and open the section "Settings". In the tab at the very bottom, click on "Advanced settings". Click on "Open proxy settings for computer" and in the window that appears, click on "Network settings". Find the line "Automatic detection of parameters", uncheck it, and then, in the section "Proxy", activate the option "Use a proxy server". Enter the proxy host and port in the appropriate fields, and then click "Apply".
