Proxy for SpringerLink

A proxy is a service that allows access to websites blocked in different countries, while hiding your own IP address. It is a kind of intermediary between the end server and the owner's computer. A VPN provides an encrypted connection to the network, which not only allows you to keep your privacy, hide your IP address, encrypt Internet traffic, but also bypasses firewalls.

The term "public" should be understood to mean open proxy servers. That is, they can be used by all users without exception. They can be insecure and are often quite overloaded, so the connection speed or response time when using public proxies can be very slow.

To find the address of a proxy, you can follow these steps:

1. Use a proxy list: There are several websites that maintain lists of public proxies with their addresses and other details. Some popular proxy lists include proxy-list.org, proxy-list.net, and freeproxylist.ru. Keep in mind that using free proxies can be risky, as they might be slow, unreliable, or insecure.

2. Browser extensions or plugins: Some browser extensions or plugins can help you find and test proxies. For example, the "Proxy SwitchyOmega" extension for Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox can automatically detect and test proxies from a list. You can find and install the extension from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons website.

3. Proxy scanner tools: There are various online proxy scanner tools that can help you find and test proxies. Some popular proxy scanner tools include "Proxy-Check.com," "Proxy-Checker.org," and "ProxyScanner.io." These tools can provide you with a list of working proxies that you can use for your purposes.

4. Use a VPN service: If you need a reliable and secure proxy, consider using a VPN service. VPNs provide encrypted connections and can help you bypass geographical restrictions, access blocked content, and protect your privacy. Some popular VPN services include ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and FineVPN. Keep in mind that using a VPN may come with additional costs, but it can be a more secure and reliable option compared to free proxies.

Open the Telegram app, and then go to "Settings. Find "Data and Drive", then tap "Proxy". Activate the "Use proxy" toggle switch, then select the desired option from the suggested list. The setting is successfully completed.

It is not possible to set up a proxy connection in the program itself. That is, you should configure it either through the regular settings of Windows, or by using third-party utilities to forward traffic (e.g., through ProxyCap).
