Configuring proxy
Hi, just got this switch and was trying to setup proxies on VLAN but couldn't seem to figure it out. So have some questions, how would I go about configuring the switch to run from proxies and is it ...
Hi, I think I understand what you mean. I'll try explain more clearly as i'm not exactly experienced in this field. What i'm trying to setup is to have multiple devices connecting to the switch and then be able to have each port using a different proxy so each device connected will have a different public ip address via proxies. Is it possible? Thank you
Two different things:
The switch does allow to connect multiple devices or computers to your LAN (e.g. behind an ISP router). This allows these devices to connect to the Internet.
Each computer can surf the Internet on it's own, you can configure whatever proxy or VPN clients* on the computers (*if the router, ISP, or a great wall is permitting) out there.
This is workable in such a configuration of course.
Re-thinking your request again, do you expect to have multiple VLANs configured connecting to diferent VPN providers or locations? Then each of the computers or routers with "dial-up" VPN capabilities connecting up to these VPNs needs routing feature, probably serving as a NAT router to operate the individual VLANs, too.
Thanks,
When I faced such problems, I always used Google. It is full of different instructions. You cannot always help people from the Forum, and sometimes even incorrectly suggest, and you will break everything yourself. Although, I see here people sensible sit. So, I recently decided to try switching from VPN to proxy servers. In my opinion, it is safer, and not so much Internet traffic is spent, so my friend said when he read an interesting article about proxy servers on this site https://www.proxies.com/about. Maybe I did not write on the topic, but my experience of using it tells me that there are switches on all devices.
