Proxy Server Settings – Web Browser Proxy Server Settings
If you haven’t got your proxy server settings in your web browser setup correctly, then it is impossible to even access your proxy server. Make sure that you have the correct login, port, username and password entered into your web browser before you try to access any websites online.
If you setup your own proxy, then you should already know the correct proxy IP and port. If your proxy server wasn’t setup by you but by someone else instead, then you may need to contact the proxy admin to find out the proxy IP and port that was allocated to your proxy account. Without the correct IP and port, it is absolutely impossible to access the proxy server. Even with the correct IP, access may still be impossible if you have the port settings incorrectly entered. Make sure both the proxy IP and port are correct before using your proxy.
Depending on how your proxy server is setup, you may also require a username and password. Not all proxy servers use the username and password settings. Some proxies are open and as such anyone can use them if they know the IP and port of the proxy server. However, elite proxies and other high end proxy servers typically require the user of a username and password. You may have chosen the username and password when setting up your proxy server. If you didn’t then you may need to contact the proxy admin to find out what your username and password are.
Once you know the correct proxy server settings, accessing your proxy and hiding your IP online are easy to do. For true anonymity, elite proxies offer the absolute best of IP cloaking of all the proxy servers available today.
