How to use a proxy server? A small tutorial for the simple setup of the proxy server

proxy, proxy server. I believe that everyone who is constantly in contact with the computer will never be familiar with this vocabulary. So, often hang on our lips: how to set up the proxy server to use it? Today, we will bring you two proxy settings for IE and FireFox (Firefox) browsers. As for the purchase and selection of the proxy server, I will not introduce it to you here... (I can't introduce it...)

First, follow the usual practice: First, what is a proxy server? Br>

Explanation of terms: proxy server

The full name of the proxy server is Proxy Server, and its function is to proxy network users to obtain network information. The image says: It is a transit point for network information. Under normal circumstances, when we use a web browser to directly connect to other Internet sites to obtain network information, we must send a Request signal to get an answer, and then the other party will send the information back in bit mode. The proxy server is a server between the browser and the web server. After it is used, the browser does not directly go to the web server to retrieve the web page but sends a request to the proxy server, and the request signal is sent to the proxy server first. The proxy server retrieves the information needed by the browser and sends it to your browser. Moreover, most proxy servers have a buffering function, just like a large Cache, which has a large storage space, it constantly stores the newly acquired data to its native memory, if the browser requests the data. It already exists and is up-to-date on its native memory, so it does not re-fetch data from the Web server, but directly transfers the data on the memory to the user's browser, which can significantly improve browsing speed and efficiency.

Next, set the method!

IE:

IE settings are like this, open IE browser, select the menu bar "Tools /Internet Options" ...”.

At this time, there are two cases. For ADSL dial-up users, after selecting a network connection, click “Settings”, as shown in the figure below, select the proxy server and fill in the address and port number.

For LAN users, you need to click “LAN Settings”, as shown below, select the proxy server and fill in the address and port number.

FireFox:

FireFox is similar to IE. Open the FireFox browser and select "Tools/Options..." from the menu bar.

At this time, select “Advanced/Network”, click Settings, the following interface will appear, you can set the proxy server, select “Manually configure the proxy”, and then fill in the address of the proxy server. And port.

Knowing the setting method, the next step is to find some free and available proxy server addresses. Usually the proxy server address is not very stable and will change frequently. For China Telecom users. Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and other proxy servers are the fastest. For this submarine cable break, Hong Kong agents may not be able to visit abroad as well. Therefore, it is recommended that you use Korean proxy servers.
