That’s it, you’ve installed the proxy software on your machine, all that’s left is to install the proxy server on your computer! However, you have to go to the settings of your operating system to configure the IP of your proxy server: here is our tutorial to install a proxy server at home.
Information to have on your proxy to configure it manually on any device
When you use a proxy, whether it is free or paid, you have at your disposal several information that will allow you to configure your proxy server. This information is necessary because you must transmit it to your operating system in order to authorize the proxy server to act as an intermediary between your computer and the remote servers on which the sites you want to browse are stored. There are several of them, not all of which are necessary:
- A script address
- An IP address
- A port (linked to the IP address)
If you use advanced software, you will not necessarily have to enter this information and configure it manually. If they are enabled and active, you will only have to activate the use of the proxy in your operating system settings.
