The easiest option is to use ready-made online proxy checkers. For example, Hidemy.name, which shows the type of protocol used. Or you can simply run Speedtest - this will show you the bandwidth and response speed (ping).

To view the proxy settings on your computer, you can follow these steps depending on the operating system you are using:

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, you will see the proxy server settings. If there is a checkmark in the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" box, it means you are 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 view the proxy settings.

Common users can use proxies to bypass blocking, to protect their personal data and to hide their real IP address or data about the equipment they use. But network administrators use them to analyze network traffic and test web applications.

Paid proxies are definitely better and more reliable than free ones. How do you test them? You can simply use the Hidemy Name service. It also shows which protocols the service uses and how reliable the connection is.

Go to "Control Panel" and in "Small icons" mode, find the item "Browser properties", aka "Internet Options". In the "Connection" tab, click on "Network Settings", and then leave the item "Automatic detection of parameters" enabled in the window that opens, and disable everything else.
