New proxy
You're looking to set up a new proxy!
A proxy is an intermediate server that sits between your device and the internet, allowing you to access websites, apps, or services while hiding your IP address and location. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you set up a new proxy:
Types of Proxies:
- HTTP Proxy: For web browsing and accessing websites.
- Socks Proxy: For accessing applications and services that use TCP/IP.
- VPN Proxy: For encrypting your internet traffic and hiding your IP address.
Setting up a Proxy:
Method 1: Using a Browser Extension
- Install a proxy browser extension like Proxifier, Proxy SwitchySharp, or FoxyProxy.
- Configure the extension to use your desired proxy server.
- Restart your browser.
Method 2: Using a Proxy Server Software
- Download and install a proxy server software like Privoxy, Squid, or Charles Proxy.
- Configure the software to use your desired proxy server.
- Restart your computer.
Method 3: Using a VPN Service
- Sign up for a VPN service like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, or TunnelBear.
- Download and install the VPN client software.
- Configure the VPN client to use your desired proxy server.
- Restart your computer.
Configuring Your Proxy:
- Proxy Server Address: Enter the IP address or hostname of your proxy server.
- Port Number: Enter the port number used by your proxy server (usually 8080 or 3128).
- Username and Password: Enter your proxy server's username and password (if required).
- Proxy Type: Select the type of proxy you want to use (HTTP, Socks, or VPN).
Troubleshooting:
- Check your proxy server's configuration and ensure it's working correctly.
