How to set up proxy IP in Edge Browser: Detailed Tutorial

In the modern network environment, the use of proxy IP has become more and more common. It can not only improve network access speed, but also help users bypass certain network restrictions. For users who use Edge browser, setting up proxy IP is a relatively simple but important operation. This article will introduce in detail how to set up proxy IP in Edge browser, and briefly mention 98IP proxy as an example.

I. Understand the basic concept of proxy IP

1.1 What is proxy IP

Proxy IP, that is, the IP address of the proxy server, acts as an intermediary between the user and the target server. The user sends a request through the proxy server, and the proxy server forwards the request to the target server and returns the response of the target server to the user. This can hide the user's real IP address, protect user privacy, and improve access speed and security.

1.2 Types of proxy IP

• ​HTTP proxy​: Mainly used for browsing the web, it can speed up access and bypass some network restrictions.
• ​HTTPS proxy​: Provides encrypted connection for safer web browsing.
• ​SOCKS proxy​: Supports multiple protocols and can be used for a variety of network applications.
  
  

II. Steps to set up proxy IP in Edge browser

2.1 Open Edge browser settings

1. ​Launch Edge browser​: Make sure your Edge browser is the latest version.
2. ​Enter the settings page​: Click the "..." icon in the upper right corner and select the "Settings" option.
   
   

2.2 Access system proxy settings

1. ​Find and open proxy settings​: On the settings page, scroll to the "System and Performance" section and click "Open your computer proxy settings".

   ​Example​:

• Port: 8080 (The port number is filled in according to the actual port provided by 98IP proxy)

3. ​**(Optional) Set the address to bypass the proxy**​: If you want certain addresses to bypass the proxy server, you can enter these addresses in the "Do not use proxy server for the following addresses" field, and separate each address with a semicolon.
