Finally, I let go of my responsibilities and breathed a sigh of relief. Let me tell you how I used a proxy server to set up my LAN today.

Using a proxy server for LAN

Well, I was actually puzzled when I first heard about proxy servers and thought it seemed like a very advanced thing to do. However, when I really needed to use it, I realized it wasn't really that hard.

First of all, it is important to know why you would need to use a proxy server. It's like you want to go to have a cup of milk tea, but you don't want to go directly to the milk tea store to buy it yourself, so you find a friend and ask him to buy it back for you. Proxy server is just like this friend, it can help us to transfer data request and response on LAN, and it can also help us to block some bad websites and improve security.

Then, we need to know the address and port of the proxy server. This address and port is like your friend's contact information and home address, it's a long string of characters. Generally speaking, the address and port of the proxy server will be given to you by the network administrator, and you just need to fill them in as required.

The next step is to fill in that information in your computer. Let me give you an example, as if you want to save your friend's contact information into your cell phone, when you need to use it, you can easily find him. In the settings of your computer, find the network settings, and then find the proxy server settings, fill in the address and port, save, and you're done.

Using proxy server addresses and ports

Well, another thing to keep in mind is that sometimes a proxy server will require a username and password to use. It's like if your friend buys milk tea for you, and the owner of the milk tea store knows him, so naturally you don't need to go there in person, but if he's not there, you'll have to go there yourself.

If the proxy server requires authentication, fill in the appropriate username and password in the settings and save.

Whew, finally got all this stuff working. Sometimes there are problems when using proxy servers, but everything is solvable! Cheer up and keep moving forward!
