Where are the proxy server settings in the Yandex browser. friGate plugin for Yandex browser. Getting the proxy server address

If you have problems accessing certain resources or because of a simple desire to remain incognito on the network, the search for various VPN plugins begins. Advanced users do not want to use a VPN due to high server load and low resource speed. According to this logic, many people have a logical desire to install a proxy in the Yandex browser or change the settings of the proxy server already installed in the browser. In general, installing a proxy for the Yandex browser is not difficult; the procedure is similar to installing a proxy in other browsers, but it also has its own characteristics, which we will discuss further.

Proxy is translated from English as “representative,” that is, an intermediary between the client and the server. A proxy server for Yandex browser is an intermediate, intermediary software package designed to redirect traffic. With direct access, traffic is immediately sent to the target server. If you activate the proxy server, traffic goes to the intermediary server, and from it to the target equipment. Traffic in both directions goes through a proxy.

Interesting! Neither the user nor the target server may even know about the presence of a proxy, since visual and technical differences are often not observed.

The intermediate server initially downloads data from the final server (for example, mail or a website), and then transmits it to the user. It turns out that when accessing the site, if the Yandex browser works through a proxy, the resource does not recognize our IP address, but perceives it as a user under a proxy IP. Today there are many thousands of proxy databases that allow you to obtain IP addresses of any country.

Important! This behavior can change; sometimes the data for loading the site is taken from the proxy server cache. In some cases, the intermediary changes the cache, and the client receives changed data that differs from that received on the final resource.

Why use a proxy server in Yandex browser?

Yandex browser with proxy performs a number of tasks:


A proxy for Yandex browser ensures the performance of some or all of the listed functions. Let us immediately note that a regular proxy server rarely performs caching, content filtering and user protection; these tasks are only achievable if you set up your own proxy in the Yandex browser. More often, system administrators of corporate networks bother with setting up servers.

Types of proxy servers

Today we can use 4 types of proxies in the Yandex browser, although there are dozens of them. There are significant differences between types of proxies that affect the security and quality of browsing.

The main types of proxies available in Yandex browser:


How to add a proxy in Yandex browser?

There are several ways: built-in browser tools and auxiliary extensions. Now let's look at a way to connect a proxy in the Yandex browser without additional programs and plugins.

Before starting work, we recommend that you find a suitable proxy server in advance; it looks like: IP address and port. There are a lot of free servers on the network, and even directory sites have been developed that contain hundreds and thousands of proxy servers. One of the server directories with free access is Hidemyna. Don't forget to pay attention to the type of proxy.

How to connect a proxy server in Yandex browser ( except Socks):

  1. Click on “Yandex Browser Settings”, the button is in the top panel on the right.
  2. Select the “Settings” item.
  3. We scroll with the mouse to the end of the page and click “Show additional settings”.
  4. In the “Network” section, click “Change proxy server settings.”
  5. On the “Connections” tab at the bottom of the page, select “Network Settings”.
  6. In the “Proxy server” column, set the selection in the only checkbox responsible for activating the function.
  7. In the “Address” line, enter the IP, and in the “Port” - the corresponding information received from the proxy server (screenshot and link to the site with the servers above).
  8. Click “Ok” and in the window one level below we do the same.

Important! The “Change proxy server settings” button is often not active and cannot be clicked. The reason is that the proxy settings are controlled by a third-party extension. If you just install Yandex browser, the Yandex Access extension can be added to it by default. To change the proxy in the Yandex browser, you will first need to disable the plugin on the “Add-ons” page. It is often impossible to activate a proxy due to the installation of another proxy extension for Yandex browser or a VPN plugin.


Using this method, you can change the proxy in the Yandex browser for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP types of servers. Any Socks proxies will not work; the setup process is slightly different and is described below.

How to set up proxy servers in Yandex browser?

If you want to use advanced Socks security technologies, you will need to additionally configure a proxy server in the Yandex browser. The difference is small, but without additional changes nothing will work.

How to change the proxy server in Yandex browser and start using Socks4 or 5:


The next time you want to replace the proxy server in Yandex browser, perform similar steps.

Advice! We recommend choosing proxies that are not too far from the real location and are located in developed countries. Typically, the closer the server is to the client, the faster the download speed. The Hidemyna website lists the pings (speeds) of resources, please pay attention to them.

How to disable the proxy server in Yandex browser?

Removing previously installed proxies is much easier than installing them. In general, we do not recommend disabling a proxy unless it was installed temporarily or the service provider is caught in fraud. To gain access to specific sites without an intermediary server, it is better to add exception rules.

How to remove the proxy server in Yandex browser:

Free proxy add-ons for Yandex browser

The browser will not be able to connect to the Socks proxy if authorization is required. The server will be unavailable. For a similar purpose, there are proxy plugins for the Yandex browser; they are useful because they have more settings, often have built-in profiles, are easier to operate with numerous rules and help in setting up the server.

The best free proxy add-ons for Yandex browser:


Now we can supplement our own list or completely remove proxy servers in the Yandex browser, and also gain access to any sites with a high level of anonymity. The only caveat is that it is better not to use suspicious HTTP proxies to access sites with confidential information; there is a high probability of data interception. We recommend installing proxies from trusted sources or using HTTPS or Socks servers.

You may need to disable the proxy server in your browser when, when connecting through a proxy, the connection is slow or it is impossible to connect to the network.

Usually, free proxy servers are blocked; in this case, for a smooth Internet connection, you need to disable the proxy server in the settings.

  • To do this, click on the “Yandex Browser Settings” icon in the upper right corner;
  • In the drop-down menu, select the “Settings” tab;
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page, click on the “Show additional settings” link;
  • More settings will open, in which you need to find the “Network” section and opposite it click on the button - “Change proxy server settings”;

  • Click the “Network Settings” button in the “Connections” tab
  • Clear the address field and uncheck the “Use a proxy server for local connections” checkbox;
  • Check the “automatic detection of parameters” checkbox. And click "OK"

Why do you need a proxy in Yandex browser?

A proxy server is used to bypass blocking by certain countries, for anonymity. When sending out a large number of advertising offers on social media. networks to protect against account blocking and much more. But if access to the network using a proxy is not possible, it must be disabled.

In short, a proxy is an intermediary computer between the user’s computer and the World Wide Web. When visiting any site, the site owner sees the IP address of the visitor, and since each computer has its own address, it is accordingly displayed in the admin panel of the owner of the site being visited.

So, for example, visitors from Russia may be denied access, due to sanctions, to certain sites registered in some other countries. This blocking can be bypassed by connecting to the desired site through a proxy server, setting the server address of the country that installs the filter.

Sending spam on social media. On networks, accounts quickly get blocked, so by constantly changing proxies, or using different proxy server addresses on different browsers, you can bypass the blocking and protect yourself from a BAN.

Proxy server as protection against hacking

For an ordinary user, a proxy can serve as protection, a kind of shield, because attackers and hackers use the user’s IP address to get into the computer and do their bad deeds from there.

Send spam to the user's contacts, steal personal data and even steal money. But using a proxy will make this much more difficult.

Disable proxy in Yandex browser - how to do it?

  • To immediately disable the proxy in all browsers, you need to click the “Start” button
  • In the search bar, enter the query inetcpl.cpl;

For Windows 10, search is located next to the Start button.

  • Select Control Panel Item from the results;
  • "Connections" tab;
  • Network configuration;
  • In the local network parameters settings window, uncheck the “Proxy server” item, having first cleared the “Address” field and set the value to “Automatic detection of parameters”.

In this case, automatic settings will be set for all browsers, and in the future, if necessary, if you connect to a specific site through a proxy, you will need to manually set the settings in the browser.

Gone are the days when the Internet was free and faceless. Today, there are more and more bans on various resources, and more and more personal data is being leaked.

In this regard, more and more often users are trying to understand browser capabilities such as working through a proxy server.

Users who are accustomed to working through the Yandex browser can easily set up a proxy in this browser.

The first thing that comes to mind is to install a plugin or extension. But this is unnecessary, the browser has its own functionality, and you should not once again trust third-party developers.

Getting the proxy server address

Before moving on to the settings, you need to get the address of the server itself.

There are two proxy options - paid and free. You can use any, but free ones have a number of disadvantages:

1. They don't last long.
After a certain time, providers of such services either become paid services or are blocked, and you will have to look for a new one in order to change the settings.

2. The second serious drawback is that such addresses are not always anonymous. They pass requests through themselves, they collect information in a cache, but do not provide anonymity. In addition, sometimes such servers are the property of attackers, and there is a chance of losing your personal data.

The disadvantage of paid proxies is that they are paid.

Select the appropriate option and save the received address. It will look like 95.151.122.4

Browser settings

To correctly configure a proxy in the Yandex browser, you need to:

  1. Open the browser and go to the menu;
  2. Select “Settings”;
  3. Scroll down the page and click on the “Show additional settings” button;
  4. In the window that opens, you need to find the “Network” section;
  5. Select the sub-item “Change proxy server settings”.

After clicking on this button, an auxiliary window will open in front of us with the ability to change various network settings, including the proxy server.

Setting up for local network connection

If you are not using a dial-up connection (there are no configured connections in the corresponding window), then to set up a proxy for the Yandex browser you need to go to the “Network Settings” section. To do this, press the button with a similar inscription. Another pop-up window will open:

To connect through a proxy server, you need to activate the corresponding section by checking the box, and the input fields and the “Add-ons” button will become active. Next, in the “Address” field, you need to enter a pre-prepared proxy server address (or change the existing one). The “Port” field can be left unchanged if such is not provided by the proxy providers. Click the “OK” button.

Setting up a proxy for a dial-up connection

If you are still the happy owner of such an Internet connection, then in this case the setup process is slightly different from the previous one.

We follow the above path to our settings and in the “Properties: Internet” window we select our connection:

After selection, the “Settings” button will become active, click it.

The window that opens is somewhat similar to the previous ones, but has some additional settings:

As you can see from the image, we need to uncheck the extra checkboxes, except for the “Use a proxy server...” field. By analogy, we add a pre-prepared server address. Click “Ok”.

At this point, the process of setting up a proxy server in the Yandex browser can be considered complete.

The advantages of working through a proxy are obvious. The most basic ones can be mentioned:

  • acceleration of work on the network (these servers have their own cache, and a lot of information is pulled from it).
  • anonymity on the network (requests for resources come not from your computer, but from an “intermediary”).

This allows you to bypass some restrictions: access to certain sites is blocked by the system administrator, content for your region is blocked, the site is blocked by RKN. You have been blocked in a chat or forum.

By the way, Yandex browser has its own proxy servers that can be activated. They do not provide a complete list of features, but you can still get some advantages. The most obvious option is to enable the “Turbo” mode (Menu – Enable turbo)

This option similarly redirects all your requests to a separate Yandex server, where the information is compressed and transferred to the user’s computer.

Disabling proxy

How to disable the proxy server in the Yandex browser: everything is banally simple, open the settings along the path described above and simply uncheck the “Use proxy” box. Restart the program and use the standard settings.

And in conclusion. We see that without resorting to third-party extensions using standard Yandex browser methods, you can increase your privacy and bypass some restrictions on the Internet. Even a person who is not particularly versed in data transfer technologies can set up and use a proxy. However, you still shouldn’t completely trust the proxy server with everything. Follow basic online safety measures and enjoy surfing the Internet.

For certain reasons, some sites may be blocked for the user. Due to the increasing frequency of blocking by Roskomnadzor, as well as blocking of sites by system administrators at work, non-working sites or site functions in your country, the use of proxies has become relevant. Thanks to it, users can easily access any site, provided that it continues to function.

There are several ways to install a VPN on Yandex Browser: install an extension to bypass the blocking or use an anonymizer, and there is also one more small trick specifically for owners of this web browser. Below we will look at each of these options in more detail.

Yandex.Browser has a Turbo mode, which for its intended purpose actually helps speed up page loading and reduce traffic consumption. But the principle of its operation allows it to be used to bypass the blocking. Of course, it is worth considering that this method does not always replace traditional types of proxies, and may not solve your problem.

Why can Turbo be used as a proxy? The fact is that to compress the page and speed up its loading, the data is sent to a remote Yandex proxy server. From there they are truncated and sent to your browser. That is, data transfer does not occur directly from the server to the computer, but through an “intermediary” in the form of a proxy. Hence the opportunity to use Turbo as the easiest way to get around the ban.

Extensions

There are enough browser extensions designed to bypass website blocking. They work like a VPN for the Yandex browser, which means they are also reliable encryptors. We have already reviewed the most popular and reliable extensions, and we invite you to read these articles. In them you will find information on how to install extensions and how to use them.

Browsec

A nice and functional extension to bypass blocking. In free mode, it provides 4 servers to choose from: the Netherlands, Singapore, England and the USA. Does not require detailed configuration and starts working immediately after installation. All outgoing and incoming traffic is encrypted.

friGate

A popular extension that works in an interesting way: using its database of blocked sites, it turns itself on when you try to access a prohibited site. You can always activate the extension manually to enable it where the site seems to be working, but some operation (for example, a purchase or registration) cannot be completed. The add-on can be configured manually and change the countries from which you supposedly access the network.

ZenMate

A good extension that also provides 4 countries to bypass the block: Romania, Germany, Hong Kong, USA. You'll have to register before you can use it, but you can get a free trial of Premium access.

Anonymizers

If you don’t want to install extensions, or this cannot be done on your computer (for example, at work), then there is another simple way to bypass site blocking. An alternative to installable extensions is an anonymizer for the Yandex browser in the form of a website. All you have to do is go to such a site and enter the address of the site you want to go to in the appropriate field.

You can find a lot of such anonymizers on the Internet. In our opinion, the most stable are the following sites:

Of course, you can use any other anonymizer that you find on your own, especially since they all provide the service we need in almost the same way.

By the way, now Roskomnadzor even blocks anonymizers, so the above sites may cease to be relevant and useful. In addition, at work, system administrators can block access to the most popular anonymizers, so you will either have to look for alternative sites for them, or use one of two other ways to bypass the ban.

Now you know how you can bypass any blocked sites. Choose the option that suits you and easily access different sites. By the way, you can also install VPN programs, which have many advantages over browser extensions, since they work on the entire computer and help you use programs such as Spotify.
