Global Proxy: Global Proxy Settings and Usage Scenarios

What the hell is a global proxy?

Engaged in the web crawler friends should understand, sometimes obviously the local network is fine, access to certain sites is stuck to death. This time we have to ask out the global proxy this magic weapon! Simply put, it is to the device installed a "cloak of invisibility", so that all network requests from the proxy server to go, the equivalent of a "network ID card".

Here's the point:The biggest difference between a global proxy and a normal proxy is the coverage. A normal proxy only cares for specific software, while a global proxy is a protective cover for the entire device network traffic. To give a grounded example, it's like the difference between installing an air purifier in your house (a normal proxy) and installing a new air conditioning system for the whole building (a global proxy).
