This tutorial will guide you on how to set up a free residential proxy and easily achieve anonymous browsing.

1. Choose a suitable free residential proxy

First, you need to find and choose a reliable free residential proxy on the Internet. You can get a list of proxies through search engines, technical forums, or professional websites. Please note that since the quality of free proxies varies, it is recommended to choose those with high user ratings, stable speed, and guaranteed security.

2. Configure browser proxy settings

Most modern browsers support proxy settings. The following uses Chrome browser as an example to explain how to configure:

Open browser settings: Click the three dots (menu button) in the upper right corner of the browser and select "Settings".

Enter network settings: In the settings interface, scroll to the bottom, click the "Advanced" option, and then find "Open your computer's proxy settings" under the "System" section.

Configure the proxy server: In the pop-up "Internet Properties" window, switch to the "Connections" tab and click the "LAN Settings" button. In the "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" window, check "Use a proxy server for your LAN" and fill in the IP address and port number of the free residential proxy you selected in the "Address" and "Port" fields.

Save settings: Click "OK" to save the settings and close all open windows.

3. Verify proxy settings

After the configuration is completed, you need to verify whether the proxy has been successfully set up and effective. You can check whether the currently displayed IP address has been changed to the IP address of the proxy server by visiting some IP query websites (such as IP address query tools).

4. Notes

Speed and stability: The speed and stability of free residential proxies may not be as good as paid services, so you may encounter slow loading or disconnection during use.

Security: Although residential proxies have higher anonymity than data center proxies, the security of free proxies still needs to be carefully evaluated. Avoid entering sensitive information on the proxy, such as bank account passwords, etc.

Change proxy: If you find that the current proxy is too slow or cannot access certain websites, you can try to change to other free residential proxies.

Comply with laws and regulations: When using proxies to access restricted content, please ensure that your behavior complies with local laws and regulations to avoid illegal risks.
