Proxies are most often used to hide certain data about yourself from those for whom they may be available. There are special sites for viewing the anonymity parameters of such resources.
Necessary
access to the Internet
Instructions
Step 1
In order to use the function of browsing sites under a proxy server, use the simplest method - an anonymizing site. To do this, first enable the corresponding function in your browser, if it has not been done earlier.
Step 2
Just use the Internet search for such sites and open one of your favorites. This method has many advantages - no additional software installation is required, no long operations to collect and filter information about proxy servers, and so on. The downside here is the limited functionality.
Step 3
Use special programs to access the network under the proxy server address. Such programs usually search for available resources, then select the best options among the available ones, after which they filter out the results and select one of them. This procedure can take several hours, but in this case you have much more options, in contrast to the quick method.
Step 4
If you want to view the name of the proxy server under which you access the Internet, open the "Connection" menu in your computer in the properties of the browser you are using, and then view the information in the "LAN Settings" item.
Step 5
If you want to check the reliability of the proxy server you are using, use special sites for this, for example, on the resource https://privacy.net/analyze-your-internet-connection/, after analyzing your data, the site will give you the information it has about you and your computer, which can be accessed by other people on the network.
Step 6
You can also use similar services, for example https://www.stilllistener.addr.com/checkpoint1/index.shtml. If you find your real address in their menu, then the proxy you have chosen is unreliable.
