How to Use a Proxy Server
Find yourself wondering how to use a proxy server? If you are unable to access a website at work or school, you may be looking for ways to use a proxy server. Using a proxy server is relatively simple. If your proxy server is already setup, just follow the steps below and you’ll be using your proxy to surf the internet in no time.
The first and main thing you need to do use your proxy is configure your web browser correctly. There are many different kinds of web browsers on the market, but they all function basically in the same way. If you go to Internet Settings -> Options settings you should be able to find a section devoted to entering in your proxy server details. You’ll need to know the proxy server IP and proxy server port (maybe even the login and password if that is how your proxy has been setup). Just type in this information and your computer is now setup to use your proxy.
With your web browser configured properly, it is time to test your proxy. How can you know if you are surfing the internet via a proxy? The best way to do this is to turn off the proxy (simple disable it using the above steps) and then visit http://www.whatismyipaddress.com or any other website that shows your IP online. Write down the IP shown on this website, turn on your proxy and then refresh the page. If your web browser is setup correctly you’ll see that the IP should change to something different and you know everything is working as it should.
Setting up your computer to access your proxy is usually very simple. Just check your web browser network options area and you’ll see where to type in your proxy server details.
