Estimated reading: 2 minutes 755 views

Introduction

A private proxy server is a dedicated IP that is being exclusively by only one client at a time, mainly to hide his public IP address assigned by the ISP

When it comes to proxies, there are a few different types of proxies one can look into:

Residential proxies
Datacenter proxies

Currently, we are providing datacenter proxies.

In this article, we will show you how to use HTTP proxies on many types of browsers.

In the Port box, type in the port number that is used by the proxy server for client connections (by default, 36505).

You can click to select the “Bypass proxy server for local addresses” check box if you do not want the proxy server computer to be used when you connect to a computer on the local network (this may speed up performance).
