Proxy settings tutorial for Firefox

The proxy works as a conductor between you and the browser. It filters out all unnecessary information while keeping you anonymous. It is best to use private proxies that will belong only to you. They are fast and reliable, which can not be said about free public servers. Such proxies can be used by many people at the same time, and this will only harm your device.
