YouTube Player Proxy

You need to open the settings menu, go to "Data and disk", and then - "Proxy settings". There you can enter the address, port number of the intermediate server, as well as username and password for authorization (if necessary).

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.

In Windows, proxy settings for local connections are made through the "Network and Sharing Center" (from the "Control Panel"). You need to select "Browser Properties", then go to "Connections" and click on "Network Setting". And there you can set either the script or the parameters for the proxy.

To check if your proxy is working, you can perform a simple test by accessing a website through the proxy. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Open your web browser and navigate to a website that you can use to test your proxy connection. Websites like "http://www.whatismyip.com/" or "https://www.proxy-check.org/" are commonly used for this purpose.

2. If you're using a proxy server, you'll need to configure your browser or a proxy extension to use the proxy. You can usually find this setting in your browser's network settings or under the proxy settings.

3. Enter the proxy server address (IP address or hostname) and port number in the appropriate fields in your browser or proxy extension settings.

4. Save your changes and refresh the web page with the test site.

5. If the proxy is working correctly, the website should display your proxy's IP address or a different IP address than your original one. This indicates that the proxy is successfully routing your traffic.

6. If the website displays your original IP address, it means that the proxy is not working or not being used.

All modern Smart TVs allow you to use proxies to connect to the Internet or local network (both on Android and Tizen OS). You have to go to the device settings, open "Network" tab (can be named as "Ethernet"), and then in "Advanced settings" to activate the proxy, if necessary - specify its settings.
