How to set IP proxy in Firefox

Hello everyone, today I'm going to share with you how to set up an IP proxy in Firefox! Without further ado, let's get started!

Step 1: Open Firefox

First, we need to open Firefox. Find the Firefox icon on your desktop or start menu, click on it, and wait patiently for it to launch. Of course, if you haven't installed Firefox yet, you need to download and install it first!

Step 2: Enter the settings menu

Folks, we are now in the main interface of Firefox. In the top right corner, you can see a button with three horizontal lines, that's the entrance to the settings menu! Click on it and select "Options" from the drop-down menu that pops up.

Step 3: Open Network Settings

Okay, now we're in the Options screen of Firefox. On this screen, you can see a lot of options, but today we are only interested in the "Advanced" option. So, click on the "Advanced" tab, and then find the "Network" option in the drop-down menu and click on it.

Step 4: Configure the proxy server

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now in the "Network" screen of Firefox. On this screen, you can see a lot of network settings. Today we are going to set up a proxy server, so please find the "Settings" button under the "Connections" column and click on it.

Step 5: Setting up the manual proxy configuration

Dear friends, now we are in the "Connection Settings" screen of Firefox. In this screen, you can see an option called "Configure proxy", please select it.

Next, we come to the proxy configuration interface. In the "HTTP Proxy" and "SSL Proxy" input boxes, please enter the address and port number of the IP proxy you want to set up. Of course, if you don't know the proxy address and port number, you can consult your network administrator or check the documentation provided by your proxy provider.

Step 6: Save Settings

Dear friends, we have finished setting up the proxy configuration! But don't forget to click the "OK" button to save the settings you just made!

Step 7: Test whether the proxy is effective

In Firefox, we have two ways to check if the proxy is working. The first method is to access some blocked websites through a proxy server to see if they can be accessed normally. Of course, in order to facilitate your understanding, I'm here to provide you with a sample code to access the web page for your reference:

import requests

# Set the address and port number of the proxy server
proxy = {
'http': 'http://代理服务器的地址:端口号',
'https': 'https://代理服务器的地址:端口号'
}

# Set the URL to access the web page
url = 'https://www.blockedwebsite.com'

# Initiate the request
response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxy)

# Check if the page was successfully accessed
if response.status_code == 200.
print('Successfully accessed the blocked website!)
print('Successfully accessed the blocked site!') else.
print('Failed to access the blocked site, please check proxy settings!)

Of course, this is just a code example. If you're not familiar with programming, you can also just type a blocked URL into Firefox and see if you can access it properly.

summarize

Of course, proxy server is a very useful tool, but you need to be careful in the process of using it! I wish you a smooth proxy setup and enjoy going to the Internet!
