Cold Proxies

In the context of a router, a proxy refers to a feature or service that acts as an intermediary between the router and external networks or resources. The primary purpose of a proxy in a router is to enhance security, optimize performance, and manage traffic.

If your proxy server is not responding, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check the proxy server settings: Ensure that the proxy server address, port, and authentication details (if required) are correct in your browser or application settings.

2. Verify the proxy server status: Visit the proxy server's website or contact the provider to check if the server is currently operational.

3. Restart the proxy server: If you have created your own proxy server, restart the server to resolve any temporary issues.

4. Test the network connection: Check your internet connection to ensure it's stable and working properly. You can try accessing other websites to determine if the issue is specific to the proxy server.

5. Update the software: Make sure you're using the latest version of the browser or application that is configured to use the proxy server. An outdated version might not be compatible with the proxy server.

6. Disable other security software: Temporarily disable any firewalls, antivirus software, or VPNs that might be interfering with the proxy server's operation.

7. Check for network restrictions: Ensure that your network (e.g., workplace, school, or ISP) is not blocking the proxy server or specific websites you're trying to access.

8. Contact the proxy server provider: If the issue persists, contact the proxy server provider for further assistance. They may be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps or identify any ongoing issues with their service.

It means routing traffic from multiple devices through a single proxy server. In this way you can, for example, organize a local network in an office environment, but where all the traffic data can be viewed from the administrator's server.

To assign a proxy server to an Android or iOS access point, follow these steps:

Open the "Settings" section. Go to the "Wi-Fi" tab. Select your access point. Click on "Proxy". Use manual setup and specify the data of proxy. Save the settings.

In e-mail, proxy servers are used for secure data exchange as well as for collecting e-mails from several e-mail addresses at once. For example, this is how Gmail works, which also allows you to receive e-mails from mail.ru and other e-mail services.
