Proxy Server Configuration

Tutorial: Easily set up a proxy server on Windows 7 in 30 seconds

The use of private proxy servers for Windows 7 and other software from Proxyline.net is a guarantee of anonymity and effective work on the Internet. Individual IPs are indispensable for quickly and securely performing the following tasks:
  • Work with multiple social media accounts.
  • Parsing search engine queries.
  • Bypassing website blocks on a regional basis, at places of work or study.
  • Protection of personal data from fraudsters and hackers.
In addition, the use of elite proxies ensures a consistently high connection speed with low ping. Therefore, buying IP addresses will be a rational decision not only for work, but also for virtual entertainment (online games, shopping, bets in casinos and bookmakers). We recommend using paid addresses, which, unlike public ones, are characterized by reliability, functionality and the absence of failures during the entire rental period. There are several ways to configure a Windows 7 proxy server – let’s consider the simplest and most popular option.

Setting up a proxy on Windows 7

You can set up a proxy on Windows 7 both in the operating system itself and using special software. The first method takes much less time and requires step-by-step execution of the following tasks:
  1. From the Start menu, go to Control Panel.
  2. Select the “Browser Options” section – depending on the version, it may also be called “Internet Options”.
  3. In the window that appears, go to the “Connections” tab and find the network settings.
  4. Allow the use of a proxy server for local connections. Do not forget to write down its address and port in the right lines.
  5. Click the “Advanced” button and check the “one proxy for all protocols” feature.
  6. If there are addresses for which a proxy server is not required, specify them separated by semicolons in the appropriate field. Subsequently, you can easily make the necessary changes, add or remove IP, and add to the list of exceptions.
Ready! Now, when you try to enter the browser, a window will appear in which you will need to enter the username and password specified earlier. You can set up IP authorization – in this case, you do not need to fill out the form again.

Disabling Proxies on Windows 7

The need to disable a proxy server often arises among owners of public addresses, since such IPs are characterized by regular failures and connection failures, and with a weak Internet signal, they may not turn on at all. You can deactivate proxies on Windows 7 in a matter of minutes:
  1. Under the Connections tab, look for VPN and dial-up connections.
  2. Specify the type of connection you plan to use in the future.
  3. Tap Settings.
  4. In the window that appears, prohibit the use of proxy for this connection.
The server is offline! You can now browse the internet from your real IP address. Please note that even paid proxies must be disabled after the expiration of the validity period indicated when purchasing the product. Otherwise, access to the network will be blocked even if the bills are paid in full. By purchasing a proxy from us, you get the opportunity to extend the use of individual IPs for any period – from several weeks to one year. It should be borne in mind that even the highest-quality, proven proxies need to be changed periodically, especially if you work with a large number of accounts. In this way, you will ensure your privacy and protect your personal information from leaks as much as possible.
