It allows clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A proxy server can be used to allow access to websites that may be blocked by a firewall, or to hide your IP address from websites you visit.<\/p>\n<p>To configure a proxy server in Windows, you will need to set the &#8220;Proxy Server&#8221; settings in your Internet Options control panel. To do this, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>1. Open the Start menu and search for &#8220;Internet Options&#8221;.<br \/>\n2. Click on the &#8220;Connections&#8221; tab and then click &#8220;LAN Settings&#8221;.<br \/>\n3. Check the &#8220;Use a proxy server for your LAN&#8221; box and enter the address of the proxy server you want to use in the &#8220;Address&#8221; field.<br \/>\n4. Enter the port number of theproxy server in the &#8220;Port&#8221; field (if applicable).<br \/>\n5. If you need to enter credentials for your proxy server, check the &#8220;Use Authentication&#8221; box and enter them in the appropriate fields (username and password).<br \/>\n6.

A proxy server forwards requests between clients and servers. If a client request is destined for a server on the Internet, the proxy server first looks in its cache of previously requested objects. If the object is found, it is returned to the client without forwarding the request to the destination server. This speeds up responses because it eliminates the time needed to connect to the destination server and send back data.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_find_my_proxy_URL_and_port\"><\/span>How do I find my proxy URL and port?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The proxy URL and port can be found in the settings of your web browser.
