Void Proxy

Most often it is used to substitute your real IP address. An example of when this is needed: watching shows on Netflix that are only available to US users. A proxy can be used to make a user logging in from anywhere in the world will be identified by the IP address as a US user. Another option is to test your site through a local web server. A proxy in this case is used to intercept all the traffic in order to analyze it further for errors and failures.

A browser configured for the HTTP protocol sends client requests not directly, but through a proxy server, which in turn sends them on its own behalf to the destination host. The proxy server here acts as a link between the computer and the requested resource, and the response it immediately sends to the client.

The easiest way to set up a home proxy server is to install a router that supports this function. Then get the proxy data (provided by the service in which it is "rented") and enter it in the router settings. If there is no need for a common proxy (for all devices at once), then it should be configured separately for each device with the help of the utilities integrated in the OS for changing the connection properties.

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.

Both on a PC and on modern cell phones, a built-in utility that is responsible for working with network connections, provides the ability to set up a connection through a proxy server. You just need to enter the IP-address for connection and the port number. In the future all traffic will be redirected through this proxy. Accordingly, the provider will not block it.
