Proxy for RealtyTrac

Proxy autoconfiguration is a feature that allows a client to automatically discover and configure the settings required to connect to a proxy server. This is typically done using a configuration file or script that provides instructions on how to set up the client's proxy settings.

The most common format for proxy autoconfiguration is the Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) file. A PAC file is a JavaScript file that contains functions to determine the appropriate proxy server(s) to use for a given URL or network condition. When a client is configured to use a PAC file, it will automatically execute the PAC script to determine the best proxy server for each request.

Another format for proxy autoconfiguration is the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD). WPAD uses a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) option or a Domain Name System (DNS) query to locate a configuration script (usually named "wpad.dat") that contains the proxy settings. The client then executes the script to determine the appropriate proxy server(s) to use.

Proxy autoconfiguration makes it easier for clients to connect to the correct proxy server without manual configuration, especially in large organizations or networks where proxy settings may change frequently. It also allows for centralized management of proxy settings, making it simpler to update or change configurations across the entire network.

A proxy is just used to bypass torrent download blocking through your ISP's network. Separately, the proxy server can block the host, that is, the owner of the site where the torrent files are posted. But it happens mostly due to malicious violations of the rules for using such a resource (for example, "cheating" rating).

In the messenger settings, go to "Data and Drive". Click on "Proxy settings", and then, enabling the "Use proxy settings" tab, enter the server, port, username and password in the specially highlighted fields. If you are going to make settings in the Desktop version, you will need to go to the menu. There, in the "Connection method" item, click on "TSP via Socks5" and enter the required data.

Open the torrent and through the "Menu" enter the subsection "Connection". Under "Proxy" choose a proxy type (Socks5 is best). In the box "Proxy" put IP address of your proxy, and in the "Port" box, respectively, the port of your proxy. If you are going to use proxy authentication, you will have to give your name and password in the corresponding fields. Click "Apply".

It means a private proxy server used by several users. For example, one of them has bought a paid proxy and lets his friend use it for a fee. That is, he "shared" his proxy (shared means "common").
