A proxy, in the context of computer networks, is an intermediary server that sits between a client device and a destination server. When a client makes a request to access a resource on the internet, the request is sent to the proxy server instead of directly to the destination server. The proxy server then relays the request to the destination server on behalf of the client, and sends the response back to the client.
Proxies can be used for various purposes, including:
-
Improving performance: A proxy server can cache frequently accessed resources, such as web pages, to reduce the amount of traffic that needs to be sent over the internet.
-
Enhancing security: A proxy server can act as a firewall by blocking unauthorized access to the network and filtering out malicious traffic.
-
Anonymity: A proxy server can be used to hide the IP address of the client device, providing a degree of anonymity when accessing the internet.
The market for proxy services is now very developed, so the user can buy proxies на proxys.io from almost all European countries, the CIS and the United States. Some of them will be needed for specific purposes, for example, to post ads on trading sites in Poland. Others will simply help to surf on any site.
Another popular way to use proxies is multi-accounting. In order to securely create and use multiple accounts on social networks, bookmakers, cryptocurrency services, and other sites, the user will need to change his or her IP address regularly.
In some cases, you can use mobile proxies, which give the user a lot of advantages.
- Using a mobile address makes it easier to work on your computer as a smartphone.
- By purchasing mobile proxies, the user gets access to several thousand IP addresses at once, which can be constantly changed.
- Such proxies are very rarely banned because the addresses belong to other real users as well.
Most often, mobile proxies are used to work with Instagram or Facebook, as the administration is loyal to users who use smartphones to stay on the social network.
How to choose the right proxy?
First, you have to decide what your goal is. If you want to buy proxy for surfing, then IPv4 address of appropriate country is enough for you. If you want to do multi-accounting, for example in a betting shop (for making money on bets or bonuseshunting), you need to use specialized proxies for such sites. You can find them directly on the provider's website. It is recommended to buy mobile proxies or server proxies for Facebook (in order to run several advertising accounts). We, as well as many proxy sellers advise to not hang more than 1 account per proxy. This simple rule will help your accounts to live longer and get restricted/blocked less often.
An important point: if you already have ready accounts, then try to make sure that the original geolocation, where it was registered, has not changed (i.e. buy a proxy of the country, from the IP of which the account was originally registered).
