it would be nice to say From the beginning,, What is a proxy server. Well, a kind of "Internet cache", buffer between the user's computer and a server, located somewhere on the Internet. His job is to store copies of web pages, and providing access to these copies (if they are relevant, the server checks, there are no new versions). What to do, If the proxy server has a copy of the site? It's not a problem – in such a situation, there is an automatic redirect to the landing page.
Benefits of proxy
In a network many proxy servers. However, the question arises: What are they needed for? The benefits of this is how the Internet user, and webmasters site, which connects to the proxy server. Преимущества использование прокси от https://youproxy.ru/ are as follows:
- This reduces the average wait for a connection to the site;
- proxy helps to hide IP-address, which is connected with the Internet user;
- loading site pages is reduced – which is especially useful for popular websites.
Most Internet users are most interested in the first two cases, but webmasters of larger sites, probably, like the third option. Finally, No one likes to pay for unnecessary transmission :).
Or proxy is used only for websites?
Through a proxy, you can connect to different protocols, not just from http. You can also use it to connect to https, ftp, gopher и т. D.
How to configure your browser?
Examples browser configurations:
In the case of Opera open the «tools» menu and select the option «preferences». Then go to "Network" and click the "proxy servers". Here we can enter the proxy server and its port, and select protocols, to which it applies. In a later version of Opera allows you to quickly enable / disable the proxy server from the menu, available under the F12 key.
In the case of K-Meleon we choose "Preferences" option from the "the edit" menu, go to the tab "Proxy", select "Manual proxy configuration" and assign the desired proxy protocols.
In IE, you can also use a proxy (although I could be wrong, since I do not use this browser), operation is performed in the menu «tools» – "Internet Options" – compound – "LAN Settings".
As for the server, We have the most popular is https://youproxy.ru/, который предлагает качественные приватные прокси за умеренную цену. 
Theory and practice
There are several issues, which must be clarified.
- First of all, speed. The speed is different, whichever, a proxy, we use. General proxy increases the average access time to web-sites, but you need to check, whether this satisfies the speed you. Of course, It may happen, that on some server speed will be different, may drop significantly, then, to increase the speed, You may have to temporarily disable the proxy (in the case of Opera users, they will have access to the corresponding option). However, it is a relatively rare cases.
- second – anonymity. Большинство прокси-серверов не обеспечивают анонимность в полной мере. Simple scripts will only define IP-proxy, but in fact is tracked by the actual IP-address. but, if someone wants to hide the IP-address of a much more efficient, he should search the internet for the so-called. "Anonymous proxy", an example would be the above-mentioned youproxy.
