Global proxy IP is also called global IP proxy, which allows users to send and receive information on the Internet through a proxy server. This proxy server hides the user's real IP address and replaces it with the IP address of the proxy server.
In addition to the common functions of improving network security protection and breaking through geographical restrictions, global proxy IP can also do the following two things:
Load balancing and disaster recovery : In an enterprise environment, global proxy IP can also be used for load balancing and disaster recovery. If a server has a problem, the enterprise can quickly switch to another server by using a global proxy IP, thereby ensuring service continuity.
Network testing and debugging : For network developers, global proxy IP can be used to test and debug network applications. Developers can test the performance of network applications in different network environments by changing the global proxy IP.
The steps to use the global proxy are not complicated. The following are common methods to set up a global proxy on various systems (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS):
Windows:
First, we need to open the Control Panel, which can be done by searching for "Control Panel" in the Start menu.
In the Control Panel, we need to select the Network and Internet option.
In "Network and Internet", click "Internet Options".
In the pop-up window, we need to select the "Connect" tab.
On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
In the new window, check "Use a proxy server for your LAN".
In the "Address" and "Port" fields, enter the IP address and port number of your proxy server.
Finally, click "OK" to save the settings and complete the global proxy settings.
Mac:
First, open System Preferences.
In System Preferences, select the Network option.
In the list of network connections on the left, select the network connection for which you want to set up a proxy.
Click the Advanced button.
In the new window, select the Proxy tab.
In the proxy list, check the type of proxy you want to use (such as HTTP proxy, SOCKS proxy, etc.).
In the "Proxy server" field on the right, enter the IP address and port number of your proxy server.
Finally, click "OK" and "Apply" to save the settings and complete the settings of the global proxy.
The above steps are all methods for setting up a global proxy at the operating system level. If you are using a proxy software, there is usually a global proxy switch inside the software. You just need to turn it on according to the software's prompts.
However, it is important to note that when setting up a proxy, you must ensure that the IP address and port number of your proxy server are correct, otherwise you may not be able to connect to the network. At the same time, when using a proxy, you must also comply with relevant laws and regulations and the website's usage agreement.
