How to enable http proxy server

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk to you about how to enable http proxy servers. As a programmer noob, I had puzzled over this issue in the beginning. But after a period of fumbling and learning, I finally got the hang of it, so I'll share it with you now!

What is an http proxy server?

First, we need to understand what an http proxy server is. Simply put, an http proxy server is a server that sits between the user and the Internet, and it acts as a relay station between the user and the Internet. When a user sends a request to the Internet, the http proxy server receives the request first and then sends the request to the Internet instead of the user. Similarly, when the Internet returns a response, the http proxy server receives the response first and then forwards it to the user. Through http proxy server, users can hide their real IP address, strengthen network security, and realize access to some blocked websites.

Hands on teaching you to enable http proxy servers

Below I will introduce a simple way to enable http proxy server, we can build our own http proxy server, which can ensure the security, but also free to customize the proxy rules.

Installing the software

First of all, we need to install a http proxy server software, here I recommend the use of ipipgo, it is a very stable and secure http proxy server software. We can download the installation package of the corresponding system on the official website, and then follow the official documents to install the steps.

Configuring Agent Information

After the installation is complete, we need to configure the proxy information. Open ipipgo software and fill in the server IP address, port number, password and other related information. Then save the settings and start the proxy server.

Setting up a Browser Proxy

Next, we need to set up a browser proxy. Open your browser, find the Proxy Settings option, fill in the proxy server IP address and port number, and save the settings.

Test that the proxy is working

Finally, we can open a blocked site to test, if the site can be accessed normally, it means that the proxy server is built successfully.

summarize

With the above steps, we have successfully enabled the http proxy server. Of course, this is only one of the methods, there are many other ways to enable http proxy server.
