Urllib Proxy

Not all routers support proxies, this nuance should be clarified with the manufacturer. But many of the routers from Asus, TP-Link, Xiaomi work well with this type of connection. All this is configured through the web interface. By the way, for some routers, custom Padavan firmware is also available. The proxy works best there, especially in the presence of the OpenVPN plugin.

There are HTTP proxy, FTP proxy, SOCKS proxy, SMTP proxy, CGI proxy. They differ only in the data transmission protocol used and the purpose for which they are used. For example, SMTP proxy allows you to organize a secure server for e-mail.

To connect to the Internet through a proxy server, you need to configure your device to use the proxy server for your network connections. Here's how to do it for different operating systems:

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the Internet Properties window.
3. Click on the "Connections" tab.
4. Click on "LAN settings" in the bottom right corner.
5. In the "Proxy Server" section, select "Use a proxy server for your LAN" and enter the proxy server address and port number provided by your network administrator or proxy service.
6. Click "OK" and close the Internet Properties window.

For macOS:

1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click on "Network".
3. Select the network connection you are using (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet).
4. Click on the "Proxy" tab.
5. Select "Web Proxy (HTTP)" from the "Proxy Settings" dropdown menu.
6. Enter the proxy server address and port number provided by your network administrator or proxy service.
7. Click "OK" and close the Network preferences.

VPN allows you to hide your real IP address, as well as further encrypt your traffic. VPN is also actively used for address spoofing. For example, the user is in the Russian Federation, but by connecting through a VPN server, the site "thinks" that the user is from the United States.

Open the "Start" menu and type "Browser Properties" in the search box. Then, go to the "Connection" tab, click on "Network settings" and disable the use of the proxy server. Reboot Windows and check if your Internet connection works. If the problem persists, open the "Advanced" tab in the "Browser Properties" window and check the box next to "Delete personal settings", click "Reset" and restart your computer.
