Proxy servers are a set of software programs on your firewall system that serve as a buffer in order to enable internet access to your system. The primary purpose of a proxy server is to save files that are requested by internet surfers in a special kind of database, known as, cache. This enables proxy servers to increase the internet connection speed. There are different types of proxy servers such as HTTP proxy server, NAT(Network Address Translation) proxy server, SSL proxy server, and FTP proxy server. Anonymous proxy servers are also a kind of proxy server, which enable to hide your IP address, thereby preventing unauthorized access to your computer. However, proxy servers are set up in different ways in different browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and Netscape Navigator. I will outline by detail how to setup proxy servers in those browsers by detail with a video tutorial.

Every proxy server is inclusive of an IP address and a proxy port that is listed next to the address. Among the common proxy ports are Socks 4/5: 1080, Wingate: 23, and HTTP: 80, 81, 3128, 6588, 8080, 4480. IP Port Proxies represent the IP address as well as the port of a proxy server. They simply refer to the router’s interface that has been linked to the IP network of a proxy server, which in turn allows for IP bi-directional traffic to the internet. This enables for AOL’s connection to the internet. In other words, IP port proxies are TCP port, which are utilized to listen proxy requests. IP port proxies are mostly in the form of numeric text setting, which in turn enables for direct numeric input.

Depending upon its usages, a port proxy either serves as a connect time IP Port Proxy or a processing time IP Port Proxy. IP Port proxies that are based on connect time delegate binding calls to proxied ports. In this case, the communication usually occurs at non-proxy port levels. In contrast to connect time IP Port proxies, a processing time IP Port proxy serves as a complementary in or out port for internal ports.

IP Port proxies are typically installed or used to access inbound connections. One of the main benefits of IP Port Proxies is that they save a lot of time in importing the proxies. Further, IP Port proxies enable an advanced user to choose a non-standard proxy port in order to use with a specified host name.

However, IP Port proxies cannot be used when the proxy settings or features are disabled.
