Proxy for ScienceDirect

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).

Open the "Settings" application via "Start" and go to "Network and Internet". Here, in the "Proxy" section, find the "Manual Proxy Configuration" column. Move the slider to "On" and carefully enter the IP address and port of the proxy, then click "Save".

In data centers, proxies are used to provide IP to virtual servers. After all, one server there can be used by a dozen users at the same time. And each needs to be allocated its own IP and port. All this is done through proxies.

Before activating a proxy server in Opera, it is recommended that you clear your browsing history and cookies of sites. This is necessary to ensure that information about the computer is not transmitted during further connections. To do this, it is enough to follow the algorithm:

Open the browser.
Click on the opera icon in the upper left corner.
Hover your mouse cursor over the "History" item.
Use the option "Clear history of visits".
After that you need to specify parameters of the proxy server. To do this, perform the following actions:

Open your browser.
Click on the Opera icon in the top left corner.
Click on "Settings".
Select the "Advanced" option.
Scroll down to the "System" tab.
Click on "Open proxy settings for computer".
Click on "Network settings".
Activate the "Use a proxy server" option.
In the window that opens, specify the IP address of the proxy server. Enter the address in the field of the protocol to which the proxy server belongs. You can get this information from your provider.
Click "OK" to save your settings.

If you want to check the proxy's regionality, use a tool such as the proxy checker. You can either download the program or use it online. To perform the check, which allows you to determine not only the country and city, but also a number of other important indicators, you need to enter your username and password in the appropriate fields.
