A proxy can be used for anonymous web surfing. After all, the connection is made through an intermediate server. And all the sites visited by the user will see the IP address of the proxy server, not the user himself. It can also be used to access resources that are only available to the citizens of a particular country.
In the browser menu (top right corner), find "Settings", and then, under "Network settings", go to "Settings" to select "Manual network configuration". Enter, depending on your network protocol, the IP address, the port and click on "OK". Open any website and in the window that appears, enter the proxy password and login, then click "Ok" again. A successful connection to the site means that the setup is successfully completed.
To connect to the Internet through a proxy server, you must authenticate with your username and password. This can be done by logging in automatically, by using a Windows agent, and by using a Web agent. With automatic login, as well as when using the Web-agent, you need to manually configure the address of the proxy server in your browser. The Windows agent does not require any special settings, because it sets up everything you need for work by itself.
There are three types of proxies that work using three types of protocols. The weakest one is HTTP. It is long outdated and unsuitable for visiting web resources. HTTPS works through a secure protocol and is most often used for web surfing. SOCKS5 proxies are capable of working with the largest number of programs and protocols. They are also beneficial because they keep your IP address anonymous in the request header.
To check a proxy for blacklisting, it is necessary to use special tools developed for this purpose. Many proxy-checkers provide free online IP-address verification and provide detailed information related to the proxy servers security. To get it, just enter the IP address of the proxy and click on the "Verify" button.
